Birmingham Black Magic (23-13) 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 3 12 2
Kansas City Stars (22-13) 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 2 X 5 7 1
5-3 Win Gets Kansas City to 22-13
Kansas City pitcher John Nelson did his part in helping his team beat the Birmingham Black Magic, 5-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. The winner was Nelson. He threw 8.0 innings allowing 3 runs. The loser was John Biot. The second-place Stars have won 4 in a row.

Had Henry Leonard not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Leonard hit a 2-run single. That made the score 5-3, in favor of the Stars.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Leonard.
