The 22-48 Los Angeles Traffic are 1-9 against the first place Mockingbirds and 1-3 on their home field this season versus Colorado but they gave their best effort in this game and made Colorado go extra innings for the second consecutive game.
This one was a slug fest ending 11-10 in favor of Colorado, but in the early innings it was the home team, Los Angeles, that built a 8-4 lead over the first four innings scoring six runs on eight hits off Colorado starting pitcher Bob Newkirk and two more on one hit off long man Hector Escobar.

Drew Storen came in to replace Perez.
Tom Smalley got another run across with a ground out to first and Harold Parent drove in run number four all charged to Perez (0.0 innings pitched four runs on four hits).
Colorado made the comeback thanks to its bullpen once again. Bottarini went 3.1 innings allowed no runs on four hits with three strikeouts.
Bill Campbell pitched one inning; no runs one hit one strikeout.
But Lance Holbert's long string of saves came to an end when he gave up a run on a homerun by Verle Olivares to tie the game.
