Dust Devils Earn Win with Late Rally
The Kansas City Dust Devils grabbed a win, 7-6, over the Grand Rapids Jet Hawks at Kansas City Grounds. Kansas City third baseman Chris Wassink was 3-4 with 2 doubles and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 runs. Kansas City reliever Jim Brooks was the winner. His record is now 3-3. The losing pitcher was Victor Joya. Kansas City, now 43-46, holds down third place in the Northern A West Division.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Kansas City. That's when Eric Hying hit a run-scoring double off 16-year old left-handed pitcher Victor Joya to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"This place was jumping at the end," Hying said.
