After a cold and wet weekend, the Kansas City T-Bones faced their first live pitching of the season on Monday night and beat the Lee's Summit Monarchs, 6-0, in an exhibition game at CommunityAmerica Ballpark.
Brandon Jones widened the lead with a two-run homer in the fourth inning that scored Justin Bass.
“I thought the at-bats were pretty good, especially for our first time on the field,” said T-Bones manager Kenny Hook. “It’s very tough to face a guy like Krysa who has a ton of experience and throws with enough velocity that you have to respect him. He was a good first guy for us to face.”
After Kansas City area native Derek McGowan threw a scoreless top of the ninth, the T-Bones added two more in the bottom of the inning of the exhibition contest.
The T-Bones are scheduled to face the Lincoln Saltdogs on Tuesday night at 7:05 at CommunityAmerica Ballpark.
Tickets are available by calling the Providence Medical Center Box Office at CommunityAmerica Ballpark at 913-328-5618.
