The Chicago Traders topped the Kansas City Bulls, 6-4, in National Baseball League action at Independence Field. The game was highlighted by the performance of Chicago pitcher Dennis Strzelczyk. Randy Birch came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed no runs on 4 hits in 2 innings. His record now stands at 4-0. With the win, Chicago upped its record to 35-31.

Chicago needed the clutch hitting of Jimmy Benson to seal the deal. The right fielder swatted a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Traders on top, 5-4. For the game, Benson had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Benson.
