Art Reichle tied it in the bottom of the inning with a home run, but KC exploded for eight runs in the top of the ninth.

Things weren’t looking good for Baltimore as the Wildfire built a 3-0 first inning lead on a Delahanty single and a two-run Kip Striker double. But the tone of the game changed in the sixth, when—still down 3-1—Rob Floyd got the Caps within one with a leadoff solo blast. Three consecutive batters then reached, and after a strikeout by Stark, Smith and Reichle singled home back to back runs to give Baltimore a 4-3 lead. A two run shot by Mike Smith eventually capped the turn around in the seventh, and Kansas City managed just one more run.
