Blockbusters Tuck Away 6-3 Win Over St. Louis
|
Though he had a terrific game, Gary Parker could not prevent his team, the St. Louis Explorers, from absorbing a loss. Los Angeles won the game, 6-3. Parker was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Larry Messenger picked up the win with 7.2 innings of work. He allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 4. On the season, he is now 2-5. The win puts the Blockbusters at 28-30, while the Explorers drop to 30-27.
Second Baseman Bill May made an impact for Los Angeles, when he swatted a run-scoring double off Marty Clark in the bottom of the fourth. For the contest, May was 1-3 with a double and a walk.
Los Angeles manager John Trausch was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys played hard," he said.
