Bulls Score Late, Stun Knickerbockers, 6-4
Jim Fulkerson was a vital contributor to the 6-4 Kansas City victory over New York. The Bulls third baseman was 4 for 4 with 3 doubles and a walk, while scoring 2. Kansas City reliever Ron Maisner was the winner. His record is now 3-1. Joe Walker took the loss. Jerry Pederson earned save number 1 this season.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Joe Cone to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bulls on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Cone.

With the loss, New York sinks to 14-11.
