Blockbuster Stadium was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Cleveland Bobcats and Los Angeles Blockbusters.

Cleveland shortstop Ernie Wilkins was instrumental in helping the Bobcats triumph, 7-6, over the Los Angeles Blockbusters. Wilkins went 2 for 3 with 2 singles and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The Cleveland winning streak has reached 3 games.

Wilkins broke a deadlock in the top of the ninth inning, when he drew a walk, driving in 1 run, putting Cleveland up, 7-6.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Wilkins told the Cleveland Daily News. "It's as simple as that."
