Josh Gibson led Homestead to a win over Kansas City. The final score was 11-9. The catcher had a huge performance. He whacked 3 extra-base hits, including 2 home runs and 1 double. Homestead pitcher Josh Lindblom earned the win, hiking his record to 6-3. Lee Smith suffered the loss. The win puts Homestead at 55-49 this season.

The decisive blow was delivered by Willie Stargell in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 3-run home run off 34-year old right-handed pitcher Lee Smith to win the game for Homestead. The home crowd went nuts.

"This wasn't a good win," said Gibson. "It was a great win."
