Monarchs 4, Black Crackers 2 (by coop)

The Kansas City Monarchs defeated the Atlanta Black Crackers 4-2 in thirteen innings.

The Monarchs got a leadoff double by Alcides Escobar in the first, and Eric Hosmer chased him home with a single. Kansas City led 1-0 after one. Then Matt Wisler shut Kansas City down through the seventh. Meanwhile, old friend Ned Yost used a bajillion pitchers, all he had.

Matt pitched well but yielded another run in the eighth. At that juncture, I bet the farm that the game was over. I lost.
