The Los Angeles Blockbusters had to overcome a fine effort from St. Louis pitcher Pat Burkholder to grab a narrow 5-3 win at Corps of Discovery Stadium. Burkholder went 9 innings and allowed 3 runs. Dick Berry picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 15-5. Dave Golub was tagged with the loss. Fred Wild converted his 20th save in 24 tries.

The most important at-bat for Los Angeles came in the top of the tenth inning. With no one out, Ernie Ronnebaum reached on an error by the left fielder, driving in 1 run, putting Los Angeles up, 4-3.

In postgame remarks, Ronnebaum simply said: "Here's to a great win!"

With the win, the Blockbusters sit at 82-76.
