ABCs Popped by Monarchs, 7-2
The Kansas City Monarchs picked up a win at Muehlebach Field 1923-1941, taking down the Indianapolis ABCs, 7-2. Starting pitcher Luke Hamlin was a big reason why. Kansas City now has a record of 58-53 with the win.

Muddy Ruel had a big 2-run home run for the Monarchs in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Kansas City leading 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a curveball from 31-year old right-handed pitcher Clay Carroll and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Monarchs on top, 3-0.

Hamlin attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
