The Los Angeles N (AZL) Dodgers topped the Kansas City (AZL) Royals, 11-5, in Arizona Rookie League action at Holman Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Los Angeles N (AZL) right fielder John Piekarski. Osvaldo Rivera, who went 6 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 4 runs on 13 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 3. His record now stands at 3-2. With the win, Los Angeles N (AZL) goes to 15-11, while the Royals fall to 12-13.

Craig Gravel had a big 2-run home run for the Dodgers in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Los Angeles N (AZL) leading 5-4 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a splitter from 21-year old right-handed pitcher Owen May and punished it. The result was his 2nd home run of the season, which put the Dodgers on top, 7-4.

"You start putting runs on the board and winning, everyone's going to get excited," said Piekarski.
