Kansas City Topples St. Louis, 7-5
Dick Scorza, who finished 5th in the NBL in wins with 16 in 1963, propelled his team to victory over the St. Louis Explorers. The final score was 7-5, Kansas City. The win puts Kansas City at 34-34 this season.

Kansas City took a 7-2 lead on Larry Moses's 4th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which Moses hit in the bottom of the seventh, left St. Louis pitcher Harlan Estes visibly frustrated.

"The name on the front of this uniform is all that matters to me," Moses told the Kansas City Chronicle. "And padding the Kansas City win column."
