Kansas City 9-5 Losers to Bluebirds
Though he had a stellar game, Chris Taylor could not prevent his team, the Kansas City Bulls, from losing, 9-5, to the Brooklyn Bluebirds. Taylor was 4-5 with 4 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Brooklyn raised its record to 65-63 with the win.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Mike Bennett came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Kansas City pitcher Dusty Solomon, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Brooklyn on top, 5-4.

"My job is to go out and play as hard as I can for the Bluebirds," said Bennett.
