The Kansas City Mavericks got a rain-soaked win over the New York Imperials.

The Kansas City Mavericks powered past the New York Imperials, 9-4, at Dyckman Stadium. Phil James provided some of the pop. He went 2-2 with a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Eddie Van der Heyden was the winner in relief. His record is now 5-0. The losing pitcher was Emmett Thornton.

Kansas City center fielder Dick Anderson contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the seventh. With two down, he hit a curveball to left field for a run-scoring single. It was his 142nd hit of the season and put the Mavericks ahead, 4-2.

"I felt good up there," said Anderson. "I saw the ball well."

The Mavericks go to 61-77, putting them last in the Continental Association West.
