The Kansas City Bulls spoiled a good performance by Los Angeles center fielder Clinton Groce, bumping off Los Angeles, 8-7, at Blockbuster Stadium. Groce went 4-5 with a double and 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Kansas City is now 22-20, while Los Angeles is 16-25.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Roger Turner? The Kansas City third baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bulls on top, 8-7. For the game, Turner had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

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