Bulls Rally Late to Clip Los Angeles
The Kansas City Bulls had to overcome a big game from Los Angeles left fielder Jim Brookins to leave Independence Field with a victory. And they did, winning, 5-4. Brookins went 3-4 with a home run, a triple, a double, and a walk. He scored 3 runs. Kansas City is now 38-33, Los Angeles 33-39.

Eddie Rodriguez was the walk-off hero for Kansas City. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bulls catcher hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Rodriguez said.
