St. Louis Explorers (16-13) 0 0 0 2 0 1 0 0 3 6 12 4
Los Angeles Blockbusters (17-13) 1 0 1 0 2 0 0 1 2 7 10 1
Blockbusters Get Past St. Louis, 7-6
Los Angeles left fielder Ernie Ronnebaum was instrumental in helping the Blockbusters triumph, 7-6, over the St. Louis Explorers. Ronnebaum went 3-3 with a home run, a triple, and 2 walks. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. The loss lowers the St. Louis record to 16-13.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, an error by the Explorers allowed the Blockbusters to score the winning run.

"I still think this team can play even better," Ronnebaum told the Los Angeles Bulletin.
