Bobcats Best Bulls in Pitching Duel
Cleveland took on Kansas City in a contest which featured a pitchers' duel. Pat Burkholder, in particular, was fantastic. The Cleveland right-hander helped his team snag the win, 2-1. Burkholder yielded 1 run over 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 2 hits, walked 2, and struck out 8. His record improves to 2-2. Joe Clabaugh notched his 4th save of the season.

Kevin Gunn came through for Cleveland when he hit a run-scoring single in the bottom of the fourth. With runners on 1st and 3rd, he hit a two-strike changeup to left-center field, staking his team to a 2-1 lead.

"I'm just trying to make sure I'm focused for each and every pitch," said Burkholder.

The Bulls fall to 8-10 and continue their sputtering start to the 1973 season.
