The Philadelphia Quakers topped the Los Angeles Blockbusters by a score of 8-5. Leading the way was second baseman Ron Paige. Paige went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Quakers. Glenn Kittle got the win, improving to 1-2. He pitched 9 innings, giving up 8 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 4 and walking 7. Philadelphia is 54-74 and Los Angeles, with the loss, 61-65.

Philadelphia needed the clutch hitting of Luis Banda to seal the deal. The catcher swatted a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Quakers on top, 8-5. For the game, Banda had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We maximized our offense today," said Philadelphia skipper Jeff Green. "That makes everyone's life easier."
