Kings Use Late Surge to Win | Kansas City Kings starter Fred Washington pitched his team past the Montreal Saints, 5-2. Washington, who leads the CA in quality starts with 18, went the distance for Kansas City. He gave up 2 runs on 8 hits. Kansas City, at 60-45, sits in second place in the Continental Association.
Kansas City used the clutch hitting of Charlie Rogers to capture the win. The center fielder drilled a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to give the Kings the lead, 4-2. For the game, Rogers had 1 single and 2 doubles in 5 at-bats.
"Winning is contagious," said Rogers. "We're looking forward to the next game." | |
