Crosby Holds Chicago Scoreless
It wasn't easy but the Kansas City Bulls made it look that way.

Starter Bob Crosby shut out the Chicago Traders despite having what he later called "sub-par" stuff, and the Kansas City Bulls cruised to victory, 2-0. Crosby allowed only 3 hits and rang up 3 strikeouts but insisted later that he did not deserve primary credit for the win.

"It didn't feel quite right today, but I got a lot of help to get through," he said. "I trusted my catcher and the guys behind me bailed me out more than once when I screwed up."

Crosby has made 22 starts so far this year and put up a 8-9 won-lost record with a 3.74 ERA. In 158.2 innings he has allowed 145 hits, walked 79 and struck out 73.
