The New York Nightmare clipped the Cincinnati Royals, 7-5, in 11 innings at The Castle. The standout performance belonged to New York pitcher and Napa, California, native Mario Ruiz. Today's win puts New York at 16-18, while Cincinnati falls to 22-12.

The most important at-bat for New York came in the top of the 11th inning, when second baseman Brian Eller stroked a 2-1 cutter to left-center for a run-scoring single, putting New York up, 6-5.

"We didn't let this one get away," said Eller.
