Taylor Helps Kansas City Cruise to 12-3 Win
Chris Taylor, who finished 4th in the NBL in OPS with 1.020 last year, led Kansas City to a triumph over St. Louis. The final score was 12-3. The left fielder went 4 for 4, falling a triple shy of the cycle. He scored 3 runs and added 2 RBI. The winning pitcher was Bob Crosby. He tossed 100 pitches over 9 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits. So far in 1972, Kansas City is 27-33.

Kansas City used the hitting of Emilio Cortez to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Bulls on top, 3-0. For the game, Cortez had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Kansas City manager DD Martin commended his team for "putting the hammer down."
