The Kansas City Royals were apparently saving up their offense all season for this one game.
The victory was only the sixth in 34 games for the Royals, who own the worst record (44-91) in the majors.

Angel Berroa drove in five runs, matching his career high, and Aaron Guiel had three hits, including his first home run since Aug. 23, 2004. Emil Brown drove in four runs, equaling his career best, with a two-run homer in the eighth and a two-double in the third.

Royals need to go 19-7 to avoid 100 losses.

South Dakota State gears up for the 2005 football kickoff:
South Dakota State will open its 108th football season by hosting Wisconsin-La Crosse in the 40th Annual Shrine Game Saturday (Sept. 3).

Game time is 7 p.m. at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium.

SDSU faces a team it hasn't played since 1955, the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. SDSU and La Crosse met three times in the early 1950s: SDSU winning 35-7 in 1951 (SDSU was 8-1-1) and 20-0 in 1955 (SDSU was 6-2-1), and La Crosse winning 13-6 in 1952.

While SDSU in its second year of transition to NCAA Division I-AA, Wisconsin-La Crosse is one of the top teams in NCAA Division III, favored to win its fourth straight Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship this fall. UWL returns 39 lettermen from last year’s 7-4 team which finished 5-2 in the WIAC.

Twins get 13 hits, don't score against otherwise hapless Royals.
Emil Brown drove in the game’s only run with a one-out RBI single past third base after the Twins spent nine innings proving the Royals aren’t the only club capable of turning the national pastime into low comedy.
Royals need to go 20-11 to avoid 100 losses.
