Locke goes 4-for-4 to Power Bulls Offense
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

Getting offensive support from Grammercy Locke, the Kansas City Bulls topped the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 12-5. Locke went 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Bulls. Los Angeles has now lost 4 in a row.

Neil Fisher dealt the Blockbusters a blow in the bottom of the first. Batting with the bases loaded and Kansas City leading 2-0, Fisher, who finished 4th in the NBL in extra base hits with 60 in 1964, hit a 1-0 curveball for a 2-run single.

"If the personal accolades come, so be it," said Locke. "I just want to win ballgames."
