Blockbusters Turn Back Chicago, 8-6
The Los Angeles Blockbusters topped the Chicago Traders by a score of 8-6. Leading the way was catcher Ed Jacques. Jacques went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2 for the Blockbusters. Larry Shears, now 5-2, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 0 and walking 0. Los Angeles is now 72-79, while Chicago is 80-70.

Los Angeles went up, 7-5, on Jim Brookins's 28th double of the season. The bases-clearing double, which Brookins hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Chicago pitcher Skip Crawford muttering to himself.

"This kind of win will certainly make our fans happy," Brookins told the Los Angeles Observer.
