Monarchs Stun Colt 45s, 6-5
Fans witnessed a whale of a game between the Kansas City Monarchs and Houston Colt 45s.

Doug Rader was a vital contributor to the 6-5 Kansas City victory over Houston. The Monarchs third baseman was 2 for 3 with a home run and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Joe Thatcher, now 1-1, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 2.1 innings.

The decisive blow was delivered by Ted Simmons in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 27-year old left-handed pitcher Tug McGraw to win the game for Kansas City. The home crowd went nuts.

"We had some nice at-bats at the right time," said Monarchs manager Daniel Makonnen.

After today's action, Kansas City sits at 20-18, while Houston falls to 20-18.
