The Cincinnati Royals defeated the Fountain Hills 23ers, 5-4, in National Conference action at Fountain Park. Mike Rankin pulled his weight. The 9-year veteran was 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs. Greg Sandlin got credit for the win, improving to 2-2. He allowed 3 runs on 8 hits in 5 innings. Roberto Salazar earned the save for Cincinnati, his 7th of the year.

Cincinnati used a well-timed hit by Scott King to capture the win. The shortstop socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Royals ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"We found a way to get it done," King said.

With the win, Cincinnati improves its record to 14-16.
