Los Angeles starter Cardell Franklin pitched effectively against the San Diego Captains at San Diego Sporting Complex. The right-hander led his team to a win, 3-0. Franklin, now 4-6, was the winner. In 7.1 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 1, walking 4, and allowing no runs. Billy Duprey recorded the save for Los Angeles, his 11th of the season.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Bill May? The Los Angeles second baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Blockbusters on top, 1-0. For the game, May had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Los Angeles manager John Trausch. "It's usually not just one thing."

At 28-32, Los Angeles is in 4th place in the National Baseball League Western Division.
