Rallying Royals Get 5-4 Win
Kansas City (DSL) beat Texas 2 (DSL) at Pittsburgh Pirates Complex, eking out a 5-4 win. The win was due in large part to first baseman Steve Crosby. He was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 times. The winner was Kansas City (DSL) reliever Steve Wilson, now 1-0. The loser was Jim Unknown. With the win, the Royals hiked their record to 10-9.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for César Estrada? The Kansas City (DSL) designated hitter had a run-scoring single in the top of the third inning to put the Royals on top, 2-0. For the game, Estrada had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Estrada expressed little emotion after the game. "Every game we win now," he said, "is one less win we'll need to get in the end."
