Hart xM BAKERSFIELD With four RBI from Garey Ingram and three more from Spirit-killer Mike Piazza, the Bakersfield Dodgers routed San Bernardino, 13-1, in front of 1,882 at Sam Lynn Ball Park Sunday night.

It was close for two innings. After that, ugly. Bakersfield scored five runs in the third, three in the fourth and four in the fifth before San Bernardino finally managed a response to Dodgers starter Jody Treadwell. And to score in the sixth, the Spirit (21-37) needed three-error help from the Dodgers (34-24). As usual, Piazza was the source of the Spirit's latest stumble.

His RBI double in the third scored Domingo Mota with the first of Bakersfield's five runs in the inning. In the fourth, the Spirit tried to avoid Piazza, which didn't help either. Oscar Rivas intentionally walked him, only to allow a three-run homer to Ingram, the next hitter. To make sure San Bernardino had no thoughts of a recovery. Piazza keyed a four-run fifth with a two-run single.

Piazza thus increased his team-leading RBI total to 76, an honor he figures to keep with 10 games to play. He and Ingram, though, weren't the only Dodgers to produce. Right fielder Dan Cardenas had three hits and two runs, and utility infielder Helms Bohringer, making a rare start, was 2-for-4 with two RBI. Treadwell left after the seventh, and still the Spirit hitters struggled. After Brian Piotrowicz pitched a 1-2-3 eighth, Dodgers right-hander Gordon Tipton struck out Brian Stephens, Craig Clayton and Greg Hunter in the ninth.
