Captains Come Back Late to Top Blockbusters, 7-2
Starting pitcher Dario Fontanez was a major factor in the 7-2 San Diego Captains triumph over the Los Angeles Blockbusters. The win was credited to Brian Meade in relief. His record improves to 4-2. Tom Benson took the loss. San Diego, at 31-30, holds down third place in the National Baseball League Western Division.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder John Panneton came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Los Angeles pitcher Tom Benson, he hit a 1-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting San Diego on top, 3-2.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Panneton said after the game.
