Reed Finds Groove in 7-1 Triumph
The Kansas City Royals topped the Charlotte Knights, 7-1, in Federal League action at Royals Stadium. The player of the game was Kansas City pitcher and Huntington, West Virginia native Rick Reed. The first-place Royals, at 68-46, now lead their division by 4 games.

Reed was effective against the Knights, seldom allowing a hard-hit ball. The right-hander limited Charlotte to just 1 run on 3 hits over 9 innings.

"One win at a time, one game at a time. We try not to get too far ahead of ourselves," Reed told the Kansas City News.
