Foresters Drop Kings, 8-1
Getting an impressive start from Larry Beebe, Cleveland beat Kansas City by the score of 8-1. In 6.1 innings, Beebe surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 5. He allowed 1 run. The win has Cleveland at 1-2.

The Kings had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Foresters going into the top of the second inning. That changed quickly when the slugging third baseman Lloyd Coulter came to the plate. Coulter hit a 2-run home run on a 0-2 fastball from Kansas City hurler Beau McClellan. It was Coulter's 1st home run of the year.

"Whenever we hold the other team to one run," said Foresters manager Art Newton, "I like our chances."
