| Menz goes 4-for-4 to Power Cougars Offense | Bob Menz made an impact in the 6-3 Chicago win over Kansas City. Menz was 4 for 4 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Hal Adams, who finished 4th in the CA in wins with 18 in 1972, was the winning pitcher. Over 9 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, with 2 walks and 5 strikeouts. The 4th-place Cougars go to 74-86.
Menz had a key at-bat for Chicago in the bottom of the second. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a 3-run home run. It was his 11th home run of the season and gave Chicago an early 3-0 lead.
Kansas City manager Sakan Hashizume said: "Sometimes, for whatever reason, you go through periods where it just isn't very good." | |
