Magic was in the air and on the mound at Corps of Discovery Stadium, as Randy Birch held the Los Angeles Blockbusters spellbound in his 1-0 shutout victory. The St. Louis Explorers pitcher went the distance, rang up 6 strikeouts, walked 0, and held the Blockbusters to 4 hits.

"He just had us in his thrall," Los Angeles manager John Trausch said. "We couldn't put anything together against him."

For the season, Birch has compiled a 4-4 record with a 2.62 ERA.
