Win Lifts Bulls to 36-27
Kansas City Bulls starter Mike Brown kept the St. Louis Explorers hitters in check, leading his team to a comfortable 6-2 win. At 36-27, the Bulls claim second place in the National Baseball League Western Division.

Kansas City used a clutch at-bat from Haskell McLemore to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Bulls ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I take a professional approach to my job," said Brown. "I've been around this game for a while."
