Blockbusters Beat San Diego, 8-7
The Los Angeles Blockbusters weathered an outstanding game by San Diego third baseman Tom Row to topple the Captains, 8-7. Row was 4 for 4 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Mark Evert notched his 1st save of the season. The win gives Los Angeles a record of 4-1.

Mike Herron went 1-1 with a double for Los Angeles. The four-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the top of the 11th. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 7-7 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Darryl Armstrong. It was his 2nd RBI of the season.

"We didn't let this one get away," said Herron.
