| Wranglers Raise Rally Flag, Beat Kansas City, 4-2 | Kansas City wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Johnnie Higgins, falling to the Dallas Wranglers, 4-2. Higgins threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. Hank Berkowitz earned his 7th save, after closing out the game. The victory puts Dallas at 17-30.
Dallas needed the clutch hitting of Chuck Armstrong to notch the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Wranglers on top, 3-2. For the game, Armstrong had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.
"I know we have our doubters," said Kansas City manager Glenn Carney. "But I still have high hopes for this team."
