The right-hander went 6.2 innings, allowing 5 runs on 11 hits for the Blockbusters. The Blockbusters improved their record to 56-57 with the win over Kansas City.

Jim Quinlan, who finished 2nd in the ABL in doubles with 36 in 1972, took Kansas City hurler Dennis Greenlee deep in the bottom of the fifth. His 3-run home run put the Blockbusters on top, 6-3. In all, Quinlan had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 5.

"Feels good to get the job done," Montoya said after the game.
