Simmons Powers Monarchs Offense
The rain came, as predicted, but the Kansas City Monarchs and Philadelphia Stars were able to complete their ballgame.

The Kansas City Monarchs downed the Philadelphia Stars, 8-2. The hitting star was catcher Ted Simmons. Simmons was 4-5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He drove in 5 runs and scored once for the Monarchs. After today's action, Kansas City sits at 22-19; Philadelphia slips to 25-16.

Joe Harris had a big run-scoring triple for the Monarchs in the bottom of the third inning. With Kansas City leading 2-1 and a runner on 2nd, he got a fastball from 30-year old right-handed pitcher Charlie E Smith and swatted a triple to left. It was his 2nd triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Monarchs ahead, 3-1.

Simmons said his team "played with focus."
