Royals Hammered by Caminiti, Drop Game 1 to Sun Rays
The Orlando Sun Rays started the League Championship in style today, winning on the road against the Kansas City Royals at Royals Stadium by a score of 5-3 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Sun Rays third baseman Ken Caminiti was named player of the game after he was 2 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once.

The game turned with two out in the top of the sixth when Caminiti, who led the FL in wins above replacement with 10.5 last year, hit a 3-run home run. It propelled the Sun Rays into the lead, 4-3.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Caminiti told the Orlando News.

Game 2 is scheduled for tomorrow in Kansas City. The scheduled starters for the game are Andy Benes for the Orlando Sun Rays and Mark Guthrie for the the Kansas City Royals.
