Los Angeles Blockbusters starter Larry Mitchell turned in a top-notch performance against the Kansas City Bulls at Blockbuster Stadium. The result was a win for the Blockbusters, 5-2. The 4th-place Blockbusters lifted their record to 26-31.

Los Angeles took a 3-2 lead on Paul Popeck's 4th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Popeck hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Kansas City pitcher Bob Crosby visibly frustrated.

"You have to trust that what you're doing is going to produce results," said Mitchell.
