Mavericks Down Imperials, 10-9
It took 11 innings, but the Kansas City Mavericks were able to beat the New York Imperials, 10-9, at Mavericks Stadium. Lou Rush provided some offensive muscle for Kansas City. He was 4 for 5 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. The win was credited to three-time All-Star Van Taylor in relief. His record improves to 4-6. Frank Stone took the loss. Kansas City is now 48-69, while New York is 61-55.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 11th inning, when Kansas City pinch hitter Max Willis, facing Frank Stone, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Mavericks the 10-9 win.

"The game is never over 'til it's over," said a jubilant Bob Bendick, the Kansas City skipper.
