Captains Lose By a Run at Los Angeles
Los Angeles beat San Diego at Blockbuster Stadium, escaping with a 6-5 win. The win in large part was due to first baseman Harvey Katzen. He went 3-3 with 2 doubles and a walk, while scoring 2 runs. Cardell Franklin recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 4 for 5. At 45-56, the Blockbusters are currently 6th in the National Baseball League Western Division.

Had Melvin Perez not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Perez hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Blockbusters.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said San Diego manager Joe Mack. "But we decided not to take it."
