Kansas City Nets 6-5 Win Versus Bobcats
Fans witnessed a whale of a game between the Kansas City Bulls and Cleveland Bobcats.

The Kansas City Bulls did just enough to sneak past the Cleveland Bobcats, 6-5, at Independence Field. Kansas City first baseman Rod Kremer, in particular, had a standout performance. Dusty Solomon picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 1-2. Del Carbone suffered the loss.

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

"I'm glad I could get it done when the game was in the balance," Kremer said in his postgame press conference.

The last-place Bulls bumped their record to 30-38.
