Eagles Stumble, Lose to Royals
The Cincinnati Royals defeated the Indianapolis Eagles by the score of 8-4, with the biggest share of the credit going to designated hitter Rick Brown. Brown was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He scored 3 times for the Royals on the day. Roberto Salazar notched his 39th save of the season. The defeat makes Indianapolis 78-76.

Aaron Jalbert had a big grand slam home run for the Royals in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Cincinnati leading 4-2 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from Victor Angel and swatted a home run to right. It was his 24th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Royals ahead, 8-2.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Jalbert told the Cincinnati Bulletin.
