Chiefs Get Thrilling 6-5 Win
The Kansas City Chiefs battled the Cleveland Browns into extra innings before the outcome was decided. The Chiefs won it, finally, 6-5, in 10 innings. In the game, Kansas City catcher Querubim Merceana went 4 for 5 with a triple, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 3. The win makes Kansas City 22-29.

Kansas City needed the clutch hitting of Paul Bernacki to seal the deal. The right fielder swatted a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Chiefs on top, 6-5. For the game, Bernacki had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"To not win that game stings a little bit," said Cleveland manager Mike Watson.
