Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Brahmins
Boston parlayed a decent outing from starter Ken Burns into a solid win over the Kansas City Prairie Dogs. The final score was 6-2. Burns yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 1, and struck out 2. His record improves to 4-9. With the win, the Brahmins improved to 58-54.

Had Tony Heath not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Heath hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Brahmins.

Heath called the win "what playing unselfish baseball looks like."
