Prairie Dogs Saddle Monarchs with 2-1 Loss
The Kansas City Prairie Dogs earned a close win over the Cincinnati Monarchs, thanks in part to Tom Child. The Kansas City right-hander, who finished 5th in the IA in innings pitched with 497.0 in 1886, played a key role in the 2-1 victory. At 33-61, the Prairie Dogs are currently 7th in the International Association.

Tommy Cate had a big run-scoring double for the Prairie Dogs in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Kansas City leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a changeup from Ashton Slake, who leads the IA with a 1.95 ERA, and swatted a double to left. It was his 11th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Prairie Dogs ahead, 2-0.

"Good ballgame," said Cincinnati manager . "But we came up on the short end."
