Streaking Bulls Win Another One, 7-2
Kansas City Bulls starter Tim McDonald led his team to victory over the Cleveland Bobcats, 7-2. The left-hander was locked-in. The winning streak has now reached 6 games for the Bulls.

Kansas City used a timely hit from Ken Durick to get the win. The right fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Bulls ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

"The bar for us is not a particular opponent, it's ourselves," said Kansas City manager DD Martin.
