Monarchs Pull Out Late Win, 9-8
Behind a solid performance from catcher Muddy Ruel, the Kansas City Monarchs defeated the Houston Colt 45s, 9-8. Ruel was 2 for 3 with a double and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for the Monarchs. Craig Kimbrel picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 3-3. Andrew Chafin suffered the loss. Kansas City now has a record of 48-41 with the win.

The decisive blow was delivered by Willie McGee in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 25-year old left-handed pitcher Andrew Chafin to win the game for Kansas City. The home crowd went nuts.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Houston manager Daniel Makonnen. "The effort was great."
