Blockbusters 7-4 Winners Versus Denver
The home crowd had a good time watching the Denver Burros and Los Angeles Blockbusters get after it.

The Los Angeles Blockbusters used the hitting of third baseman Bill May to subdue the Denver Burros, 7-4. For the game, May was 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Tom Benson recorded the save, his 27th.

Los Angeles shortstop Pedro Villamil contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the third. With two down, he hit a fastball to left-center field for a 2-run single. It was his 68th hit of the season and put the Blockbusters ahead, 5-2.

"The clubhouse can get insufferable after we lose, so I'm glad we pulled this one out today," Villamil told the Los Angeles Observer.

The Blockbusters improved their record to 52-55 with the win over Denver.
