Kings Stick Wolves with 10-4 Loss
The Kansas City Kings had to overcome a big game from Toronto third baseman Ed Hester to leave Prairie Park with a victory. And they did, winning, 10-4. Hester was 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Fred Washington earned the win, while 25-year old left-handed pitcher William Benns took the loss for Toronto. Kansas City's record now stands at 87-66, placing them second in the Continental Association.

Dutch Miller hit a 2-run double off William Benns in the bottom of the first, which put the Kings in front, 2-0. In addition to the double, Miller had 1 single, while going 2 for 5.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Miller.
