Royals Score Late to Beat Gladiators, 9-8
Despite a great performance by Phoenix third baseman Ton Ariëns, the Cincinnati Royals defeated the Gladiators by the score of 9-8 at Gladiators Ballpark. Ariëns was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 times. The win elevated the Royals to 80-59.

Cincinnati used a clutch hit from Rick Brown to snatch the win. The designated hitter belted a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Royals ahead, 9-8. It was his only hit, but it was huge.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Cincinnati manager Justin Aaron.
