Tampa Bay Drops Another One, 6-3
Cincinnati Royals starter Josh Huggins pitched a strong game against the Tampa Bay Captains at The Castle, leading the Royals to victory, 6-3. The loss makes the Captains 9-19.

Cincinnati took a 4-3 lead on Eric Hayes's 10th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Hayes hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Tampa Bay pitcher Jeff Sharp visibly frustrated.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Huggins.
