Hepcats Turn Back Firehawks, 5-3
Behind a fine performance from A.J. Justice, the Kansas City Hepcats knocked off the California Firehawks, 5-3. Justice was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times for the Hepcats. Dennis Martinez was credited with the save for Kansas City, his 9th of the season. The West Division-leading Hepcats are 56-31.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Sydney Johnson to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Hepcats on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Winning never gets dull," said Johnson.
