Traders center fielder Fran Precourt left his mark on his team's 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Blockbusters. Precourt, who is a two-time All-Star, went 4-5 with 4 singles for Chicago in the contest. Skip Crawford picked up the win, lifting his record to 9-6 on the season. He struck out 3 and walked 5 in 7 innings, while yielding 4 runs. Jimmy Calhoun earned his 7th save in 7 chances.

In the top of the eighth, with the game tied, the Blockbusters allowed the Traders to take a 5-4 lead on a base hit and Los Angeles error.

"We'll keep playing hard and let the chips fall where they may," said Chicago manager Larry Link.

Chicago has run its win streak to 5 straight.
