Explorers Lose to Bulls, 4-3
Kansas City Bulls starter Waldo Hardaway found his groove in his team's 4-3 win over the St. Louis Explorers. The winner was Hardaway. He threw 7.2 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was Danny Prentice. St. Louis has now lost 5 in a row.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Emilio Cortez to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bulls on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Cortez said his team "played with determination."
