Traders Make Blockbusters 7-6 Losers
Thanks in large part to catcher Ed White, the Chicago Traders beat the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 7-6. White was 4 for 5 with 4 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The Blockbusters, now 21-33, have lost 4 in a row.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Dave Lindsey? The Chicago shortstop had a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Traders on top, 2-1. For the game, Lindsey had 2 doubles and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"It wasn't our best performance," said White, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
