A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Kansas City Bulls and Brooklyn Bluebirds.

In the bottom of the fourth inning of a 4-4 tie, Kansas City third baseman Bob Rawlins reached on an error by the 1B, driving in 2 runs. It broke the deadlock and put Kansas City on top, 6-4.

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