Lankford, Royals Wallop Sun Rays in Game 2 of CS
The Kansas City Royals relied on the hitting of center fielder Ray Lankford to get by the Orlando Sun Rays, 11-1, in Game 2 of the League Championship today. For the game, Lankford hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The clubs are now tied, 1-1.

The tide might have turned with no one out in the top of the fifth, had not Mark Guthrie made a big pitch. With runners on 1st and 2nd and the Sun Rays trailing 3-0, he retired Ivan Rodriguez, who hit into a double play.

Game 3 is scheduled for Monday at Orlando Citrus Bowl. Slated to start are Denny Neagle for the Kansas City Royals and John Smoltz for the the Orlando Sun Rays.
