The Los Angeles Blockbusters went down to defeat to John Gannon and his Denver teammates. The final score was 5-2, in favor of the Burros. Gannon, the winner, moves to 15-1. He threw 7.1 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 7 and giving up 1 walk. Denver has now won 3 straight, while the Blockbusters have lost 4 in a row.

With one out in the top of the eighth, Ken Frederick had a chance to do some damage. Los Angeles was trailing 5-1, but had the bases loaded. Frederick came to the plate against Archie Sereni, and hit a sacrifice fly. But it was not enough to complete a Los Angeles comeback.
