Blockbusters Get Clutch Win Versus Cincinnati
The Cincinnati Packers got a sterling performance from pitcher Fernando Lopez, but the Los Angeles Blockbusters still prevailed, 5-4. Lopez threw 7.2 innings of 4-hit ball. Randy Medved, now 1-0, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 1 and walking 0. The Packers drop to 8-15.

Los Angeles used the timely hitting of Norm Parsons to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Blockbusters on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Been a rough stretch for us," said Cincinnati manager Martin Abresch.
