7/12/16 St. Louis Stars at Kansas City Monarchs
Fans were in for a nailbiter in the first of this two-game series, and the home crowd went home happy as they saw their Monarchs catch up to the second place Stars with a close walk-off victory.
For most of the game. teams kept trading runs, and both starting pitchers left the game in favor of pinch hitters in the ninth. Relievers Salmon and Radcliffe took over, and the home team just got away with a walk-off win off Louis Santop's bat. An unearned run, for that matter, because Oms had only reached on an error from Stars center fielder Bullet Joe Rogan - the sharply hit liner should have been caught for the third out of the tenth, but just slipped out of Rogans glove because he had hesitated too long because playing the ball as a one-hopper or trying to catch it for the out.

Despite a lackluster performance at the plate, Cool Papa Bell gives fans a story to tell at home: in the fourth inning, Lundy hits a flyball deep to center field, but Cool Papa Bell sprints back to the center field fence, times a leap perfectly and just manages to reach over the fence and haul the ball in. In S-o-M rules terms: a D20 roll for a possible homerun on the ballpark chart came up with the first F result, and the subsequent die roll per rule 14.5 was so low only a 1 center fielder could make an out on it...
For the visitors, stand-in Creacy delivered another fine performance and will likely remain in the lineup for tomorrow's game. Bell and similarly lackluster "Homerun" Johnson, who both remained hitless, will probably get a day off.
