Traders Rally For Late Win Over Blockbusters
Though the conditions were not ideal, the Chicago Traders and Los Angeles Blockbusters came back from a rain delay to finish their game.

Dave Lindsey was instrumental in his team's 5-3 triumph over the Los Angeles Blockbusters. The shortstop went 3 for 3 with 3 singles for the Chicago Traders. With the win, Chicago boosts its record to 11-6.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Chuck Panetta to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Traders on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll kick back tonight, then get set for the next one," Lindsey said.
