Blockbusters 6-4 Winners Over Milwaukee
Jim Brookins was a major contributor to the 6-4 Los Angeles win over Milwaukee. The Blockbusters left fielder was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Larry Shears, the 6th overall pick in the 1971 draft, was the winner in relief. His record is now 1-2. The losing pitcher was Denny Grissinger. At 33-38, Los Angeles is in 4th place in the National Baseball League Western Division.

Brookins had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 1-1 splitter from Denny Grissinger, he banged a 2-run home run to left, giving the Blockbusters a 5-4 lead. It was the 15th home run of the year for Brookins.

"You need to show up when your number's called," said Brookins.
