Los Angeles Blockbusters (3-3) 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 1

Captains Rally Late to Clip Los Angeles
Starting pitcher Dario Fontanez was a major factor in the 2-1 San Diego Captains triumph over the Los Angeles Blockbusters. The win was credited to 28-year old right-handed pitcher Mark Pike in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Tom Benson took the loss. San Diego goes to 2-4.

Had Bobby Jackson not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Jackson hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Captains.

"I put my work in and trusted the process," said Fontanez.
