Kings Walk It Off for 29th Win of Season
Kansas City picked up a win at Prairie Park, bumping off the Los Angeles Stars, 5-3. Pitcher Walt Staton was a major reason the Kings emerged victorious. Alex Vaughan snagged the win in relief. He goes to 5-2 on the season. Paul Anderson suffered the loss. Kansas City sits in second place in the Continental Association at 29-23.

Kansas City got a knockout punch from Chuck Collins. The pinch hitter hammered a 3-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"This place was rockin'," Collins said.
