The Kansas City Monarchs saddled the Birmingham Black Barons with a loss at Rickwood Field. The final score was 11-4. Boog Powell was 3 for 5, including 1 single and 2 home runs. The Kansas City first baseman scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Frank Castillo, the winning pitcher, is now 6-0. He went 6 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits, while fanning 8 and walking 0. Kansas City leads the National League Marvin Miller Division by 5 games.

Kansas City needed the clutch hitting of Ducky Medwick to seal the deal. The designated hitter swatted a solo home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Monarchs on top, 5-4. For the game, Medwick had 2 home runs and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Medwick. "You've got to get results."
