Traders Defeat Blockbusters in 10
The Chicago Traders handed the Los Angeles Blockbusters an extra-inning, 6-5 defeat at Blockbuster Stadium. Second Baseman Rafael Fuentes starred for Chicago. He went 2-5 with a home run and a double, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The win lifted the Chicago record to 23-18.

Ed White was 1-4 with a double and was hit by a pitch for Chicago. The 22-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the top of the tenth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 5-5 tie with a run-scoring hit-by-pitch off Fred Wild. It was his 18th RBI of the season.

"We had situations where we should have got some runs in, but we didn't get the runs in," said losing manager John Trausch.
