Los Angeles N (AZL) Beats Texas (AZL), 5-2
The Los Angeles N (AZL) Dodgers topped the Texas (AZL) Rangers, 5-2, in Arizona Rookie League action at Holman Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Los Angeles N (AZL) pitcher and Naperville, Illinois, native Matt Hamilton. Los Angeles N (AZL) reliever Seth Kaderly picked up the win, upping his record to 5-0. Chris Griffin absorbed the loss. The Dodgers have an impressive 26-8 record.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the bottom of the seventh, with the game tied, Nate Hawkins was at the plate when Los Angeles N (AZL) scored 2 on an error. The miscue enabled the Dodgers to go in front, 4-2.

"We need better swings, better at-bats," said losing manager Danny Rios.
