Peters Homers Twice in 7-6 Win
The San Diego Captains defeated the Kansas City Bulls, 7-6. Catcher Earl Peters deserved a large share of the credit. Peters was 3-4 with 2 home runs, while adding 6 RBI and scoring twice for the Captains. Mark Pike got the win, improving to 8-5. He worked 8.2 innings, giving up 6 runs on 13 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 2. Darryl Armstrong collected save number 4.

Peters had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 1-1 fastball from Steve Eaton, he banged a 3-run home run to center, giving the Captains a 7-4 lead. It was the 11th home run of the year for Peters.

"We're our own worst enemy right now," said Kansas City skipper DD Martin.

Kansas City, at 35-48, has lost 12 straight.
