Blockbusters Jolt Bulls, 8-6, with Late Rally
The Los Angeles Blockbusters downed the Kansas City Bulls, 8-6. The hitting star was second baseman Ken Frederick. Frederick was 3 for 4 with 2 doubles and a walk, while scoring 2 times for the Blockbusters. The win was credited to 25-year old right-handed pitcher Cardell Franklin in relief. His record improves to 9-12. Dave Fields took the loss. The setback makes Kansas City 89-67.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Dave Taranto came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Kansas City pitcher Dave Fields, he hit a 1-2 cutter for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Los Angeles on top, 8-6.

"It was a solid team effort," said Taranto after the game.
