Bulls Top Blockbusters to Even Record
The Kansas City Bulls topped the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 6-3, with pinch hitter Ken Hussey playing a big role. Hussey was 1 for 1 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Bulls in the win. Kansas City reliever Dusty Solomon snagged the win, upping his record to 5-0. Ralph Weintraub shouldered the loss. The Bulls improved their record to 30-30 by beating Los Angeles.

Kansas City took a 3-2 lead on Larry Moses's 8th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Moses hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Los Angeles pitcher Ralph Weintraub visibly frustrated.

"I felt good up there," said Hussey. "I saw the ball well."
