Skidding Knickerbockers Lose 6th Straight
Los Angeles parlayed a decent outing from starter Larry Messenger into a solid win over the New York Knickerbockers. The final score was 6-2. New York now owns a losing streak of 6 games.

Juan Alicea went 1-3 with a double for Los Angeles. The 28-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the top of the ninth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Jose Espinoza. It was his 15th RBI of the season.

"Solid performance from our side," said Blockbusters manager John Trausch.
