Royals Pull Out Late-Game Win, 6-5
The Cincinnati Royals defeated the Phoenix Gladiators, 6-5, in part because of first baseman Aaron Jalbert. Jalbert went 2-6 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Royals. Cincinnati pitcher Dane Roberts got the win, upping his record to 4-1. Manny Brant got the loss. The Royals now have a record of 32-24 with the win over Phoenix.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 12th. With no one out, Jalbert hit a cutter from Manny Brant for a solo home run. The Royals, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"It was terrific getting this win," Jalbert said. "We put in a lot of work to do it."
