Los Angeles Blockbusters (17-18) 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 4 12 2
Bobcats Procure 6-4 Victory
Due in large part to first baseman Rick Gruber, the Cleveland Bobcats sunk the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 6-4. Gruber was 2-5 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Cleveland has 3 straight wins, Los Angeles 3 straight losses.

The Bobcats benefited from a costly error in the top of the first. With Bobby Magnuson at bat and Cleveland leading 2-0, the Los Angeles miscue allowed Cleveland to plate 1 and take the lead, 3-0.

"It's always great to put the barrel on the ball and contribute," said Gruber.
