The Maine Pines overcame a pretty good performance by Cincinnati right fielder Jason Paulsen, beating the Royals, 8-7, at Oakhurst Field. Paulsen was 3-5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Maine has run its win streak to 4 in a row.

Dustin Downing hit a 3-run home run off Owen Kase in the bottom of the eighth, which put the Pines ahead, 8-7. In addition to the homer, Downing had 1 double, while going 2 for 4.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Downing told the Maine Today. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."
