Chicago Topples Los Angeles, 4-2
The Chicago Traders scooped up a win at Blockbuster Stadium, dumping the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 4-2. Skip Crawford, who finished 4th in the NBL in wins with 18 in 1974, was essential to his team's success. The Blockbusters fall to 8-10 and continue their lackluster start to the 1976 season.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Dave Lindsey? The Chicago shortstop had a run-scoring single in the top of the first inning to put the Traders on top, 1-0. For the game, Lindsey had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"I like what I saw today," said Chicago manager Larry Link, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."
