Blockbusters 6-1 Winners Versus New York
The Los Angeles Blockbusters downed the New York Knickerbockers, 6-1, at Knickerbocker Stadium. Stellar pitching by Randy Medved had a lot to do with it. The right-hander handcuffed his opponent all game. The Blockbusters improved their record to 33-35 by beating New York.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Bill May? The Los Angeles third baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the second inning to put the Blockbusters on top, 1-0. For the game, May had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"We did a lot of things right," said May.
