Royals Beaten by Cubs, 2-0
The Kansas City (AZL) Royals wasted an impressive 7.2-inning effort from starter Art Kuk, falling, 2-0, to the Chicago N (AZL) Cubs at Sloan Park. Chicago N (AZL) is 11-15 and Kansas City (AZL), with the loss, 17-9.

The Royals had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Cubs going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 18-year old catcher Juan Guillen came to the plate. Guillen hit a run-scoring double on a first pitch fastball from Kansas City (AZL) hurler Art Kuk. It was Guillen's 3rd double of the year.

Guillen attributed the win to his team's "hyper resolve."
