The rain came, as predicted, but the Cincinnati Royals and Halifax Heathens were able to complete their ballgame.

The Cincinnati Royals beat the Halifax Heathens, 5-0. Cincinnati pitcher and Three Lakes, Florida, native Stuart Maness led the way. The winning pitcher was Maness, now 6-1. He tossed 7 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 3. Josh Hunter nailed down his 1st save.

Mike Rankin, who is a seven-time All-Star, contributed to the Cincinnati win with a 3-run home run in the bottom of the eighth. For the game, the catcher had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 4 runs batted in.

"When this team comes together and plays the way we can, we can compete with anyone," said Maness. "I think we're going to keep proving that."

Cincinnati has now won 4 straight.
