Los Angeles Blockbusters starter Ralph Weintraub pitched well against the Kansas City Bulls at Independence Field, leading his team to a win, 6-3. Weintraub picked up the win for Los Angeles, going 8 innings. He gave up 3 runs on 8 hits. He now sports a record of 2-5. The victory gives Los Angeles a record of 20-20.

Los Angeles used a clutch at-bat from Norm Parsons to capture the win. The center fielder hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Blockbusters ahead, 6-2. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"It was a good night for them and a bad night for us," said Kansas City manager DD Martin.
