Bulls Win at Brooklyn, 10-8
Kansas City second baseman Bobby Crankshaw made his presence felt in the 10-8 Bulls triumph over the Brooklyn Bluebirds. Crankshaw was 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Jim Miller claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 5 hits in 7 innings. His record stands at 4-1. Kansas City's record now stands at 59-79, placing them last in the National Baseball League Western Division.

Had Hank Cummings not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Cummings hit a 2-run single. That made the score 9-8, in favor of the Bulls.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Bulls manager DD Martin. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
