Burros Stumble, Lose to Blockbusters
Conditions were not ideal but Los Angeles and Denver were able to put their game in the books.

Starting pitcher Larry Mitchell pitched well enough to help the Los Angeles Blockbusters beat the Denver Burros, 10-4. Los Angeles is now 52-54, Denver 45-60.

Los Angeles second baseman Ken Frederick contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fourth. With two down, he hit a cutter to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 110th hit of the season and put the Blockbusters ahead, 6-0.

Los Angeles manager John Trausch commended his team for "putting the pedal to the metal."
