Colt 45s Popped by Monarchs, 6-1
Kansas City Monarchs starter Mickey Welch pitched well against the Houston Colt 45s at Minute Maid Park, leading his team to a win, 6-1. The win puts Kansas City at 10-9.

Kansas City used a well-timed hit by Albert Pujols to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Monarchs ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"I thought we played a nice game," Pujols told the Kansas City Gazette. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."
