Royals Rally Late to Clip New York
Starting pitcher Andy Dooley gave the Cincinnati Royals a rock-solid performance, helping his team defeat the New York Nightmare, 3-2, at Nightmare Stadium. The loss puts New York at 14-16.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Eric Hayes? The two-time All-Star Hayes stroked a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning to put Cincinnati up, 3-2. For the game, he was 3 for 4, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"I was able to fill up the zone," said Dooley.
