Blockbusters Hand Milwaukee 3-1 Loss
The Los Angeles Blockbusters got a good effort from starter Larry Mitchell in defeating the Milwaukee Dairymen at Blockbuster Stadium. The final score was 3-1. Mitchell yielded 1 run over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 1, and struck out 5. His record improves to 3-0. Milwaukee drops to 4-6.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Blockbusters had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the first, when catcher Andy Covarrubio hit a run-scoring single. The single came off John Gannon and made the score 1-0, Blockbusters. Covarrubio was 2 for 4 with 2 singles.

"You've got to ride the highs and the lows in baseball in order to succeed," Mitchell told the Los Angeles Observer. "Right now I'm feeling good, but that don't mean squat for tomorrow."
