Ed Laub had a 3-RBI game, during Los Angeles's 6-5 triumph over the Chicago Traders. Laub contributed 2 singles and 1 home run to the cause. The 5th-place Blockbusters are now 26-30, the Traders 33-23.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Los Angeles shortstop Bobby Richter, facing Randy Weisenberg, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Blockbusters the 6-5 win.

"This kind of game is tough on the heart," said winning manager John Trausch.
