Blockbusters Top Burros in Extras, 9-7
The Los Angeles Blockbusters and Denver Burros fought to the finish at Gates Crescent Park.

The Los Angeles Blockbusters topped the Denver Burros, 9-7, in National Baseball League action at Gates Crescent Park. The standout performance belonged to Los Angeles pitcher and Hoboken, New Jersey, native Ralph Weintraub. With the loss, Denver is 2-5.

Los Angeles used the timely hitting of Rich Pakula to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Blockbusters on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"This game will punch you right in the mouth," said Weintraub. "My job is to show up and give my team a chance."
