Hayes Leads Charge, Cincinnati Blasts Scorpions
The Cincinnati Royals had no problem beating the Syracuse Scorpions, 16-3, at Scorpion Stadium. Eric Hayes, who finished 4th in the NC in slugging percentage with .521 last year, led the onslaught. He hit 3 home runs, while adding 6 RBI and scoring three times for Cincinnati. The defeat makes Syracuse 0-2.

Jaden York had a big 2-run home run for the Royals in the top of the first inning. With Cincinnati leading 2-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from Mike Hammond, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2022 draft, and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Royals on top, 4-0.

"Their at-bats were really impressive against us," said losing manager Dan King.
