Royals Score Late, Clip Desperados, 7-6
The Cincinnati Royals overcame a pretty good performance by Austin second baseman Drew Riggi, beating the Desperados, 7-6, in 10 innings. Riggi was 3-4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times. With this game in the books, Cincinnati is 88-57, Austin 69-76.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Cincinnati second baseman Allen Marshall, facing Justin Buchanan, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Royals the 7-6 win.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Marshall said.
