Colt 45s Nipped, 5-2, by Kansas City
The Kansas City Monarchs downed the Houston Colt 45s, 5-2, at Muehlebach Field 1923-1941. The Monarchs were led by Albert Pujols. Pujols was 4 for 4 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Frank DiPino earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. He upped his record to 2-0. Jeff Pfeffer finished the game for Kansas City and earned his 9th save.

A crucial at-bat came with the bases empty and no one out in the bottom of the eighth inning. That's when right fielder Stan Musial, who is tied for 2nd in the NL in doubles with 17, hit a triple. The Monarchs went on to win.

"It was a good effort all around," said Pujols.

The win gives Kansas City a season record of 23-15.
