Bulls Get One-Run Win at Los Angeles
Blockbuster Stadium was the site of a tense game between the Los Angeles Blockbusters and Kansas City Bulls.

Kansas City got a strong outing from Waldo Hardaway as the Bulls defeated the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 3-2, at Blockbuster Stadium. Andy Luce notched his 5th save in 8 chances.

Harvey Alterman, who led the ABL in triples with 12 in 1963, had a direct impact on the outcome. Alterman contributed a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put Kansas City up, 3-0.

"Sometimes a win comes easy," Alterman told the Kansas City Today. "And sometimes you have to scratch and claw."

With the win, the Bulls improved to 38-50.
