Blockbusters Rally Late to Nip Packers
The Los Angeles Blockbusters earned a close win over the Cincinnati Packers, thanks in part to Dario Fontanez. The Los Angeles right-hander, who is tied for 2nd in the NBL with a 7.9 K/9 rate, played a key role in the 2-1 victory. The Packers fall to 11-14 and continue to sputter in the early going.

Pedro Villamil was the walk-off hero for Los Angeles. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Blockbusters shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It was a good night for them and a bad night for us," said Cincinnati manager Martin Abresch.
