Bulls Decked By Traders, 11-1
No one was more impactful than Rafael Fuentes in the 11-1 Chicago win over Kansas City. Fuentes, who finished 3rd in the NBL in triples with 13 in 1969, was 4-6 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. The loss drops the Bulls to 1-3.

Larry Cox had a big solo home run for the Traders in the top of the second inning. With Chicago leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a sinker from former first round draft pick Bob Crosby and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Traders on top, 2-0.

Kansas City manager DD Martin called the blowout loss "not what we wanted."
