McLemore Socks Blockbusters in 7-6 Bulls Win
The Kansas City Bulls defeated the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 7-6. Doing his part was left fielder Haskell McLemore, who went 3-5 with 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Don Callahan earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 2 innings. He upped his record to 1-0. The Blockbusters drop to 13-17, as their stumbling start to the 1977 season continues.

Bob Rawlins, who finished 2nd in the NBL in batting average with .344 in 1973, came through for Kansas City with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the seventh. The third baseman went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 2 runs and collected 2 RBI.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," McLemore told the Kansas City News.
