| Kings Fall Short, 3-2, at Toronto | The Toronto Wolves scored a tight, 3-2 win versus the Kansas City Kings at Dominion Stadium. Toronto pitcher Bill Medley held his own in the contest. Medley yielded 2 runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 0, and struck out 8. His record improves to 10-7. The 6th-place Wolves have won 4 straight.
An inflection point occurred with two out in the bottom of the fifth. That's when Wolves catcher Al Curtis hit a fastball from Johnnie Higgins for a 2-run single. Just like that, Toronto was up, 3-2.
"What we get, we earn," Curtis told the Toronto Daily News.
