Kansas City Wins Game 5 in Extras; On Verge of LCS
The Kansas City Bulls nearly wasted a strong game from starter Dennis Greenlee, but were saved by some timely hitting in a 12th inning walk-off win over the Denver Burros today.

Greenlee pitched well in the 2-1 win at Independence Field. He threw 7.2 innings of 4-hit ball. The win allowed Kansas City to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 Divisional Round.

In the bottom of the 12th, Ken Durick knew he could end it with one good swing of the bat. And he did, hitting a run-scoring single off Denver pitcher Mel Hartman.

"Took some scratching and clawing," said Durick. "But we got it done."

Game 6 is scheduled for Tuesday at Gates Crescent Park in Denver.
