The Kansas City Hepcats topped the Puerto Rico Ranas, 12-3, with youngster Joe Kirkland playing a key role.

The Kansas City winning streak has reached 3 games.

The Hepcats benefited from an error in the bottom of the fourth inning. Kansas City was leading 1-0 when Homer Slamson hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put Kansas City in front, 2-0.

In postgame comments to the Kansas City Bulletin, Slamson said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
