Cougars Lose as Kings Stage Late Rally
The Kansas City Kings faced a tough opponent in Chicago pitcher Hank Walker, but found a way to pull out the victory at Prairie Park by a final score of 5-3 in 10 innings. Walker went 7 innings and allowed 2 runs. With the win, Kansas City goes to 60-60, while the Cougars fall to 56-65.

Kansas City got a knockout punch from Charlie Rogers. The center fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"I'm glad this one's going in the books as a 'W'," Rogers said.
