Traders Win Nail-Biter in 11
The Chicago Traders wiggled past the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 2-1, at Blockbuster Stadium. The win was highlighted by the performance of Chicago pitcher Larry Cox. Vern Hensley, now 2-0, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 0 and walking 0. The 4th-place Traders have a record of 34-41.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Terry Moore to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Traders on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"What a great win for our team," said a jubilant Larry Link, the Chicago manager.
