Rangers Earn 5-4 Win Versus Royals
Starting pitcher Joseph Cunningham pitched well enough to help the Surprise (TEX) Rangers beat the Surprise (KC) Royals, 5-4. Troy Mullinax picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-0. Carter Smolinski was tagged with the loss. The victory makes Surprise (TEX) 4-5.

The outcome might have been different for Surprise (TEX), had it not been for Kyle Spraker, the 21-year old shortstop . Spraker stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put Surprise (TEX) up, 5-4. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"The key at this level is throwing strike one," said Cunningham. "Successful pitchers do it."
