| Kings Snatch Late Win | The Kansas City Kings downed the Montreal Saints, 5-3, at Stade Montreal. Chuck Lewis led the way, going 2-for-5 for Kansas City. Mike Thorpe earned the win to go to 2-2. He allowed 3 runs on 5 hits, with 5 walks and 4 strikeouts in 7 innings of work. Kansas City sits at 6-12 in the early going.
Kansas City used the timely hitting of Hank Williams to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Kings on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Williams.
