Los Angeles Beats San Diego, 2-1
In a tight contest between the Los Angeles Blockbusters and the San Diego Captains, Larry Messenger was the determining factor. The Los Angeles right-hander sparkled in his team's 2-1 win. The first-place Captains now sit at 61-41.

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 fifth, when center fielder Ed Laub hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Jack DeWitt and made the score 2-1, Blockbusters. Laub went 1 for 3 with a walk.

"I executed the game plan," said Messenger.
