Blockbusters Victors, 6-1, at Milwaukee
The Los Angeles Blockbusters went home winners at Milwaukee Municipal Stadium, thanks in large part to starter Larry Messenger. Messenger stifled the Milwaukee Dairymen, enabling Los Angeles to grab the 6-1 win. Messenger, now 11-8, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 4, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. The Los Angeles winning streak has reached 3 games.

Los Angeles used a well-timed hit by Pedro Villamil to capture the win. The shortstop socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Blockbusters ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

Villamil told the Los Angeles News: "Don't care what other people think. Pedro knows who Pedro is."
