Invaders Score Late to Nip Royals, 5-4
The Oakland Invaders defeated the Cincinnati Royals, 5-4, in National Conference action at Howard Terminal. Oakland pitcher Evan Pullman had a standout performance. Oakland reliever Rich Hepler picked up the win, upping his record to 3-0. Colin Lambert was saddled with the loss. Chris Brown notched his 3rd save of the season.

Had Cameron Williams not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Williams hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Invaders.

"We had a good game plan," Pullman said, "and we were able to execute it."

The Royals fall to 7-9 and continue their sputtering start to the 2024 season.
