Yeager, Royals Beat Tailgators, 9-8
The Montreal Royals topped the Chesapeake Tailgators, 9-8, in Stars Conference action at Tailgators Ballpark. The game was highlighted by the performance of Montreal right fielder Cody Yeager. Jay Waltman snagged the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits over 2 innings. He's now 2-0 on the season. Vince Rice earned his 8th save in 10 chances.

Montreal used a well-timed hit by Eduardo Lopez to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Royals ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Yeager told the Montreal News.

Montreal goes to 55-26, Chesapeake to 44-37.
