Thrice as Nice: Cincinnati On Verge of Sweep after Walk-off Win
The Cincinnati Royals are one game away from a sweep after taking a 4-2, walk-off win over the visiting Maine Pines at The Castle. Royals right-hander Juan Fernandez had a strong outing in which he threw 7.2 innings of 4-hit ball. Cincinnati now holds a 3-0 advantage in the best-of-7 Divisional Series.

The decisive blow was delivered by Jay Bloms in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run home run off 27-year old right-handed pitcher Mike Poussard to win the game for Cincinnati. The home crowd went nuts.

"Sometimes you get the ball in the right spot and it goes," said Bloms.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at The Castle in Cincinnati.
