The Kansas City Bulls had to overcome a big game from Denver left fielder Jim Bitting to leave Gates Crescent Park with a victory. And they did, winning, 5-2. Bitting was 2 for 2 with a double. Pat Thornton claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 3 innings. His record stands at 6-0. Earning the save was Bob Crosby. He's now cashed in 17 of 21 save opportunities.

The Bulls got a big at-bat from second baseman Dave Lester. For the game, Lester was 2 for 4 with 2 doubles, while adding 2 RBI. In the top of the fourth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 4th double of the season gave Kansas City a 2-0 lead.

Lester attributed the win to his team's "focus and intensity."

The third-place Bulls have won 7 in a row.
