Blockbusters Prevail, 2-1, Over St. Louis
The Los Angeles Blockbusters claimed a close win over the St. Louis Explorers, due in large part to Ralph Weintraub. The Los Angeles right-hander pitched a great game to secure the 2-1 win. With the win, Los Angeles has a record of 74-82. St. Louis falls to 84-72.

Ed Laub provided a timely hit. The Los Angeles center fielder delivered a run-scoring triple in the top of the sixth inning to put the Blockbusters on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in the game, but he made it count.

"Ralph -- his tempo and rhythm were good," said Blockbusters manager John Trausch. "He was the key to us winning."
