Burros Suffer 7-2 Home Defeat
With second baseman Harvey Katzen leading the charge, the Los Angeles Blockbusters defeated the Denver Burros, 7-2, at Gates Crescent Park. Katzen, who is tied for 8th in the NBL with a .884 OPS, went 4-5 with 4 singles, while scoring 2 runs. Los Angeles pitcher Basil Anderson got the win, upping his record to 10-8. Keith Williams got the loss. Los Angeles is now 65-75. Denver is 83-57.

Los Angeles used a clutch at-bat from George Strum to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Blockbusters ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Said losing manager Clark Anderson: "Obviously, we wished for a better outcome."
