Mavericks Earn 2-1 Win Versus Cougars
Willie Spencer brought his A-game to help Kansas City defeat the Chicago Cougars, 2-1. The win belonged to Johnny Manning in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Don Griffin took the loss for Chicago. The Mavericks, now 5-11, have not found much traction so far in 1974.

Kansas City got a clutch hit from Chuck Cohen. The pinch hitter launched a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a kill shot.

"Obviously, you want to go out there and be good every time out," said Spencer. "I take the ball every day with the same mindset."
