Herron Shines in 7-3 Los Angeles Win
Mike Herron knocked in 3 runs to help Los Angeles beat St. Louis, 7-3. The shortstop collected 1 single, 1 double, and 1 home run. Syed Farooqi, the winning pitcher, improved to 6-7. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 6 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 0 and walking 0. Los Angeles is now 38-38.

Los Angeles used the timely hitting of Bruce Tonner to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Blockbusters on top, 6-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"In baseball, you have your ups and downs," said St. Louis manager Ray Fleetwood. "You just try to stay level-headed the whole time."
