Bears Rally Late to Nip Stars
Fans saw a dandy of a game between the Memphis Bears and Kansas City Stars.

Guy Brown pitched well, but the Kansas City Stars still lost the game, falling, 2-1, to the Memphis Bears at Stars Stadium. The win went to Charles Carey in relief. His record improves to 7-0. Guy Brown took the loss.

Memphis used the timely hitting of George Fleet to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bears on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"The old adage is true," said Fleet. "Good pitching stops good hitting."

The victory gives the Bears a record of 60-47.
