Kansas City Beats Los Angeles in Extra Innings
The Kansas City Bulls beat the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 8-4 -- though it took them 10 innings. Kansas City left fielder Chris Taylor had a pretty good game. He was 3-5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. With the win over Los Angeles, the Bulls improved to 56-76.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Hal Lahr to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Bulls on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Taylor.
