Blockbusters Lose to Captains, 4-1
Starting pitcher Mark Pike was a major factor in the 4-1 San Diego Captains triumph over the Los Angeles Blockbusters. With the loss, Los Angeles falls to 4-2.

Bob Anderson was 1 for 4 for San Diego. The 23-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring single off Larry Messenger. It was his 2nd hit of the season.

"Nice win for us," said Pike. "Now we'll go after the next one."
