Dairymen Pocket 9-5 Win Against Los Angeles
In the 9-5 Milwaukee win over Los Angeles, the impact of Angel Gutierrez was substantial. Gutierrez went 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The winning pitcher was Dan Valenti. He tossed 119 pitches over 6 innings, allowing 4 runs on 9 hits. With the loss, Los Angeles drops to 2-1.

The Blockbusters had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Dairymen going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 26-year old first baseman Champ Arkle came to the plate. Arkle hit a 3-run home run on a 1-1 sinker from Los Angeles hurler Ralph Weintraub. It was Arkle's 1st home run of the year.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Arkle. "You've got to get results."
