Traders Win at Los Angeles, 5-3
The Chicago Traders took Los Angeles pitcher Syed Farooqi's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Blockbuster Stadium. The final score had Chicago getting past the Blockbusters, 5-3. Farooqi went 6 innings and allowed 2 runs, striking out 5. George Hecht got credit for the win, improving to 1-2. He allowed 3 runs on 8 hits in 6 innings. Toby Chambers, credited with the save, is now 3 for 4 in save opportunities.

Chicago used a timely hit from Garry Graham to get the win. The third baseman stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Traders ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Being able to contribute to a win is always a great feeling," Graham told the Chicago Observer.

The 6th-place Traders improved to 46-61.
