Gonzalez Stars for Blockbusters in 9-3 Win
Oscar Gonzalez was instrumental in his team's 9-3 triumph over the Milwaukee Dairymen. The right fielder was 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for the Los Angeles Blockbusters. Larry Messenger, who is tied for 5th in the NBL in quality starts with 7, was the winning pitcher. Over 8.1 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 12 hits, with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts. The Los Angeles winning streak has reached 3 games.

With Los Angeles leading 3-0 in the top of the fourth, Gonzalez hit a sinker from Tom Mitchell for a 3-run home run. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Blockbusters ahead, 6-0.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Gonzalez told the Los Angeles Daily.
