Reapers Nip Royals, 7-6
The Carolina Reapers defeated the Cincinnati Royals, 7-6, in part because of catcher Adam Pelfrey. Pelfrey was 2 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for the Reapers. Reliever Pat Eisen picked up the win. His record improves to 4-1. Roberto Salazar, who finished 2nd in the AC in saves with 44 in 2020, took the loss. Andy Hannah was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 4 of 4 save opportunities.

Blake Benigno came through with a big-time hit for Carolina. The center fielder smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 7-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"It's a humbling game and right now we're being humbled in a lot of different areas," said Cincinnati manager Justin Aaron.

Carolina has won 7 straight, while Cincinnati has lost 9 in a row.
