Kansas City Earns 3-2 Win
The Kansas City Bulls got a stellar effort from pitcher Pat Thornton, helping Kansas City score a win over the visiting Chicago Traders, 3-2. Thornton went the distance for Kansas City. He gave up 2 runs on 6 hits. The Bulls raised their record to 46-62.

Kansas City took a 3-2 lead on Emilio Cortez's 6th double of the season. The bases-clearing double, which Cortez hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Chicago pitcher Randy Birch visibly frustrated.

"I was a little disappointed," said Chicago manager Larry Link. "We could've and should've scored more runs."
