Thursday, September 18th , 1975
Los Angeles Blockbusters fans were hoping for a better outcome to this season, but it will end without a playoff berth, as the team was officially eliminated today.

Heath Shuts Out Milwaukee, 6-0
Thursday, September 18th , 1975
In a remarkable performance, San Diego Captains starter Ray Heath beat the Milwaukee Dairymen, 6-0, in an impressive 3-hit shutout.

"My arm felt good, mechanics were good and my stuff was working," he said later. "It doesn't get any better than this."

The Captains hurler finished with 5 strikeouts and 1 walk. He showed pinpoint control and a sharp fastball.

"It was a rough one for my guys," Milwaukee manager Brandon Dudley said, following the game. "We weren't at our best and their guy was."

This season, Heath has 18 wins and 7 losses and a 2.95 ERA.
