Royals Top Desperados, 7-3
The Royals earned a hard-fought, 7-3 win in 13 innings at Dell Diamond. To do so required withstanding a fine effort from Austin pitcher Luke Scrimger. Scrimger went 5.2 innings and allowed 1 run. With the win, Cincinnati raised its record to 31-22.

Jason Paulsen came through with a big-time hit for Cincinnati. The right fielder smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the 13th inning to give his team the lead, 5-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

Paulsen attributed the win to his team's "focus and intensity."
