Kansas City Beats Cincinnati, 5-0
The Kansas City Bulls topped the Cincinnati Packers, 5-0, in National Baseball League action at Roman Arena. The standout performance belonged to Kansas City pitcher and Houston, Texas, native Dick Scorza. The winning pitcher was Scorza, now 11-5. He tossed 7.1 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 4. Kansas City is now 55-48, while Cincinnati is 40-63.

Emilio Cortez had a big solo home run for the Bulls in the top of the fifth inning. With Kansas City leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a slider from Fernando Lopez, who finished 5th in the NBL in innings pitched with 256.1 in 1969, and punished it. The result was his 8th home run of the season, which put the Bulls on top, 2-0.

"We did a lot of good things tonight," said Kansas City manager DD Martin.
