The Brooklyn Bluebirds faced a tough opponent in Los Angeles pitcher Larry Mitchell, but still scratched out a win at Blockbuster Stadium by a final score of 3-2 in 10 innings. Mitchell went 7 innings and allowed 2 runs. Dave Norman earned the save, his 2nd, for the Bluebirds. The Bluebirds, at 35-36, sit in 4th place in the National Baseball League Eastern Division.

"This team is capable of getting on a roll," said Brooklyn skipper John Meeker.
