KANSAS CITY, Kan. - Josh Hendrickson threw eight scoreless innings, Robbie Glendinning drove in three runs and the Kansas City Monarchs shut out the Cleburne Railroaders 5-0 Saturday night from La Moderna Field.

The Monarchs scored two more in the fifth. Micah Pries hit a two-out triple and Glendinning drove him in with another RBI single. Glendinning later scored on a wild pitch from Mechals.
Adolph's solo home run in the eighth brought the game to its eventual final score. The 110-mph blast traveled 393 feet.
