Palmer Swings Packers to 7-5 Win
The Cincinnati Packers beat the Kansas City Bulls, 7-5, at Independence Field. The win was due in part to right fielder Glenn Palmer, who was 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The winner was Rich Pedersen in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Andy Luce took the loss. Terry Stallings earned his 1st save in 1 chances.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Glen Bennett? The Cincinnati shortstop had a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Packers on top, 6-5. For the game, Bennett had 2 doubles and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Palmer.

The 6th-place Packers lifted their record to 51-59.
