Dust Devils Best Ambassadors, 5-1
Frank Howerton never let the Ambassadors get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his splitter, to pitch the Dust Devils to a win, 5-1. Howerton picked up the win for Kansas City, going 7.2 innings. He gave up 1 run on 3 hits. He now sports a record of 2-0. Kansas City currently is in second place in the Northern A West Division at 22-14.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Steve Thomas? The 22-year old first baseman Thomas stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put Kansas City up, 4-0. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"It was a tough night at the plate," said Fremont manager Dave Sullivan.
