Packers Score Late, Upend Blockbusters, 9-8
Los Angeles first baseman Harvey Katzen was sensational. He was 4-4 with a triple, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Cincinnati beat the Blockbusters, 9-8. Rich Pedersen notched the win in relief. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 1.1 innings. His record now sits at 1-0. The loss makes Los Angeles 19-16.

Batting in the bottom of the ninth, 28-year old first baseman Stan Timmons had a real shot to win the game. Los Angeles pitcher Tom Benson was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, Timmons hit a run-scoring single. The Packers had a walk-off triumph.

"The crowd was raucous," said Timmons.
