Kansas City Hands New York 8-7 Defeat
New York third baseman Steve Wells was sensational. He was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. But it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Kansas City beat the Knickerbockers, 8-7. Bob Crosby picked up the save, his 29th. The Kansas City win streak is now 5 games.

Kansas City used a well-timed hit by Emilio Cortez to capture the win. The center fielder socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the first inning to put the Bulls ahead, 3-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We're in a little funk right now and we've just got to get ourselves out of it," said New York manager Timothy Widholm.
