Mitchell Silences Kansas City Bats
Larry Mitchell, who is tied for 8th in the NBL with a 2.50 ERA, was locked in. The right-hander led the Los Angeles Blockbusters to a 5-2 win against the Kansas City Bulls at Independence Field. Tom Benson, who finished 5th in the NBL in saves with 24 in 1973, nailed down the save. Los Angeles now has a record of 19-19 with the win.

Mitchell was in the zone all game. He frustrated Kansas City hitters while giving the Blockbusters 8 innings of quality work. Mitchell threw 102 pitches, allowing 4 hits and getting 6 punchouts.

"When you are able to locate the ball, good things are going to happen," said Mitchell.
