Kings Slip Past Wranglers, 6-2 | The Dallas Wranglers could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Rex Conner into a win. Instead, the Kansas City Kings prevailed, 6-2. Conner threw 6.0 innings of shutout ball. The win went to Henry Henderson in relief, making him now 2-0. Hank Berkowitz took the loss for Dallas. Kansas City is off to a hot start at 10-4.
Kansas City used the timely hitting of Bob Burge to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Kings on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
Burge said his team "played with focus." | |
