Bulls Come Back Late to Top Eagles, 8-4
The Kansas City Bulls beat the Washington Eagles by a score of 8-4. Kansas City center fielder Haskell McLemore deserved the lion's share of the credit. McLemore was 2 for 3 with a home run, a walk, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Bulls. Kansas City reliever Pat Thornton was the winner. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Ricky Grill. The Eagles drop to 6-11, as their stumbling start to the 1975 season continues.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Dave Lester came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Washington pitcher Ricky Grill, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Kansas City on top, 5-4.

"We maximized our offense today," said Kansas City skipper DD Martin. "That makes everyone's life easier."
