Royal Giants Squeeze By Kansas City, 6-5
Mike Piazza was a major factor in the 6-5 Brooklyn win over Kansas City. The Royal Giants catcher went 2 for 4 with a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. With the win, Brooklyn raised its record to 32-30.

Piazza had a game-changing double in the top of the sixth. On a 1-2 changeup from Frank Castillo, he banged a bases-clearing double to right-center, giving the Royal Giants a 4-3 lead. It was the 8th double of the year for Piazza.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Piazza.
