Captains Lose to Blockbusters, 5-4
The Los Angeles Blockbusters topped the San Diego Captains, 5-4, with left fielder Jim Brookins playing a big role. Brookins was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for the Blockbusters in the win. Billy Duprey got the win, improving to 14-15. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 8 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 2 and walking 4. Los Angeles is now 75-83, while San Diego is 84-74.

With the game tied in the top of the fifth inning, Brookins had a clutch at-bat. That's when he hit a 2-run single to give the Blockbusters a 4-2 lead.

"You work hard, day in and day out, hoping to give the fans something to cheer about. Today was a good day," Brookins told the Los Angeles Observer.
