In a low-scoring game between the Brooklyn Bluebirds and the Los Angeles Blockbusters, pitcher Bill Curry was the difference-maker. The Brooklyn left-hander was tough as nails in the 2-1 Bluebirds win. Bob Hill notched his 11th save of the season. Brooklyn has won 3 straight, while Los Angeles has lost 3 in a row.

The Bluebirds got a big at-bat from right fielder Jackie Cooper. For the game, Cooper was 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the top of the first, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 15th home run of the season gave Brooklyn a 2-0 lead.

"I was able to fill up the zone," said Curry.
