Foresters Knock Off Kings at Prairie Park
The Cleveland Foresters topped the Kansas City Kings, 5-3, in Continental Association action at Prairie Park. The game was highlighted by the performance of Cleveland pitcher Jake Pearson. At 74-54, the Foresters claim second place in the Continental Association.

Cleveland used a timely hit from Paul Williams to get the win. The first baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Foresters ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Jake really held it together well," said Cleveland manager Jim Whitehead.
