Royal Giants Win Squeaker, 5-4, Over Monarchs
The Brooklyn Royal Giants beat the Kansas City Monarchs, 5-4, at Muehlebach Field 1923-1941. The win was due in part to third baseman Ron Cey, who hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Trevor Hildenberger, credited with the win in relief, is now 6-2. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. Brooklyn improves to 92-58 with the win. They lead their division by 15 games.

Brooklyn won the game in part because of Jackie Robinson. The first baseman ripped a solo home run in the top of the 12th inning to put the Royal Giants ahead, 5-4. For the game, Robinson had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

Robinson told a Brooklyn Herald reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
