Wildcard Game Goes the Distance, Cincinnati Prevails
The Cincinnati Royals are off to the Divisional Series after an exciting Wildcard Game triumph.

Cincinnati downed the Oakland Invaders, but needed the entire series to do so, with a 7-0 win tonight at Howard Terminal wrapping up the series 2-1.

"It's every guy in this room that made this happen. Without us all pulling in the same direction, we don't win this series," said Rick Brown, who earned MVP honors for a standout offensive series.

Brown put up a .357 with a .357 on-base percentage in the series. He also had 3 home runs, drove in 7 runs and scored 4 runs himself.

The Cincinnati Royals will play against the Charleston Shiners in the next round. Charleston had a bye in the Wildcard Game. The Divisional Series schedule will be announced after the Wildcard Game finishes.
