Chicago Wins, Topping Kansas City, 5-2
The Chicago Traders and Kansas City Bulls completed their game despite the rain.

Chicago turned a good performance from starting pitcher Skip Crawford into a 5-2 triumph over the Kansas City Bulls at Independence Field. The winning pitcher was Crawford, now 3-2. He tossed 7.1 innings of 1-hit ball, while walking 4 and fanning 5.

Larry Cox had a big grand slam home run for the Traders in the top of the first inning. With Chicago leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he sized up a fastball from 27-year old right-handed pitcher Waldo Hardaway and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Traders on top, 5-0.

"I had pretty good command out there," said Cox.

The win hiked the Chicago record to 20-20.
