The RedHawks tacked on two more in the bottom of the sixth and the Richards home run in the seventh brought the lead up to seven.
Kansas City stuck around, scoring five runs across the first four innings but was held scoreless the rest of the way by the RedHawks bullpen.
Bryce Brassfield earned the win for the RedHawks, going four innings in relief of Hunter Day. Brassfield allowed five hits and punched out five batters.
Mason Pelio tossed 2.2 scoreless innings as well, allowing just one hit and striking out three. Tyler Jeans pitched the ninth, finalizing a RedHawks win with two strikeouts of his own.
