Bulls Use Late Rally to Win 5th Straight
The Kansas City Bulls weathered a fine game by Los Angeles right fielder Jim Brookins to upend the Blockbusters, 8-7, at Independence Field. Brookins went 4 for 4 with 2 home runs, a double, and a walk. He scored 4 times and drove in 4. Kansas City reliever Bob Crosby picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Paul Carter was saddled with the loss. The Bulls raised their record to 19-11.

The decisive blow was delivered by Buddy Shingleton in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 31-year old right-handed pitcher Paul Carter to win the game for Kansas City. The home crowd went nuts.

"This place was rockin'," said Shingleton.
