Birmingham first baseman Bruce Murphy played a vital role in his team's 6-4 conquest of Kansas City. He was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 4 for Birmingham. The winner was Wilmer Thomas, who threw 121 pitches over 7 innings. The left-hander was charged with 3 runs on 7 hits. Birmingham, at 56-62, holds down third place in the Great Southern Steamboat.

Murphy had a key at-bat for Birmingham in the bottom of the first. With runners on 1st and 3rd, he hit a 3-run home run. It was his 7th home run of the season and gave Birmingham an early 3-0 lead.

Birmingham manager Emmett Tompkins was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys played hard," he said.
