Cummings Drills 2 Homers in 7-1 Kansas City Win
A 4-RBI performance from the two-time All-Star Hank Cummings helped the Kansas City Bulls beat the St. Louis Explorers, 7-1. Paul Geary picked up the win with 9 innings of work. He allowed 1 run on 5 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 7. On the season, he is now 3-1. Kansas City, now 44-56, holds down 6th place in the National Baseball League Western Division.

Though it wasn't a flawless game -- few are -- the fans who filled the stands at Independence Field seemed to enjoy watching the National Baseball League action.

"See ball, hit ball. When I think too much, that's when I get in trouble," Cummings told the Kansas City Observer.
