Prairie Dogs Flatten Clippers, 10-2
Prairie Dogs left fielder Curt Johnston left his mark on his team's 10-2 win over the Cleveland Clippers. Johnston, who finished 5th in the IA in doubles with 26 in 1884, went 3 for 4 with 3 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for Kansas City in the contest. The winner was Marty Birch, who threw 135 pitches over 9 innings. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 9 hits. The last-place Prairie Dogs own a record of 10-27.

The Prairie Dogs benefited from a costly error in the bottom of the sixth. With Jim Scott at bat and Kansas City leading 4-2, the Cleveland miscue allowed Kansas City to plate 2 and take the lead, 6-2.

"Nothing to write home about," Cleveland manager said, when asked afterward about the game.
