Royals Win, 8-5, at Dallas
The Cincinnati Royals beat the Dallas Dragons, 8-5, at Tennant Healthcare Ballpark. The win was due in part to designated hitter Rick Brown, who went 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 2 times. Earning his 36th save for Cincinnati was Roberto Salazar. Cincinnati is now 76-68, while Dallas is 79-65.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Eric Hayes? The Cincinnati left fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Royals on top, 4-3. For the game, Hayes had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We came out aggressive," said Royals manager Justin Aaron. "We came out swinging the bats."
