Kansas City starter Bob Crosby pitched well against the Los Angeles Blockbusters at Independence Field. The right-hander led his team to a win, 4-3, in 11 innings. Los Angeles's current losing streak has reached 5 games.

The decisive blow was delivered by Dave Lester in the bottom of the 11th when he hit a bases-clearing double off 32-year old right-handed pitcher Fred Wild to win the game for Kansas City. The home crowd went nuts.

"This place was rockin'," said Lester.
