Lakefront Stadium was the site of a competitive game between the Los Angeles Blockbusters and Cleveland Bobcats.

Cleveland turned a good performance from starting pitcher Rick Tomlinson into a 4-2 triumph over the Los Angeles Blockbusters at Lakefront Stadium. Tomlinson got the win, improving to 2-3. He gave up 7 hits and walked 3 over 7.2 innings. He allowed 2 runs. Joe Clabaugh earned his 9th save, after closing out the game.

Cleveland left fielder Don Pelletier contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With two down, he hit a changeup to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 19th hit of the season and put the Bobcats ahead, 3-1.

Tomlinson called the win a testament to his team's "tenacity."

The Blockbusters, now 19-20, have lost 5 in a row.
