Monarchs Stumble, Lose to ABCs
The Indianapolis ABCs beat the Kansas City Monarchs, 8-4. Indianapolis pitcher and Dominican Republic, native Johnny Cueto led the way. Cueto yielded 4 runs over 7.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 1, and struck out 2. His record improves to 3-1. Kansas City falls to 12-4.

Oscar Charleston had a big 2-run home run for the ABCs in the bottom of the third inning. With Indianapolis trailing 3-2 and a runner on 1st, he got a fastball from 34-year old right-handed pitcher Luke Hamlin and swatted a home run to center. It was his 3rd home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the ABCs ahead, 4-3.

"Johnny pitched like a champ," said Indianapolis manager Daniel Makonnen.
