Blockbusters Absorb 6-2 Home Loss
The Kansas City Bulls picked up a win at Blockbuster Stadium, downing the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 6-2. On the mound for Kansas City was right-hander Bob Crosby, who played a pivotal role in the win. Kansas City occupies last place in the National Baseball League Western Division at 44-57.

Kansas City used a well-timed hit by Fred Johnson to capture the win. The catcher socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Bulls ahead, 4-2. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"We took home the win," said Johnson. "What's not to like?"
