Bulls Earn Win with Late Rally
Due in large part to left fielder Chris Taylor, the Kansas City Bulls sunk the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 8-7. Taylor went 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The loss makes Los Angeles 19-20.

Mario Alva was the walk-off hero for Kansas City. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bulls shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We got the victory," said Alva. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."
