Sherlock Helps Cincinnati Cruise to 13-3 Win
Cincinnati and Tampa Bay got after it at The Castle.

The Cincinnati Royals powered past the Tampa Bay Captains, 13-3, at The Castle. Heath Sherlock was 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and 2 walks. He scored 3 times and drove in 3, to lead the charge. The Royals now have a record of 85-64.

Jason Paulsen had a big grand slam home run for the Royals in the bottom of the second inning. With Cincinnati leading 3-1 and the bases loaded, he sized up a fastball from 31-year old right-handed pitcher Matthew Gayheart and punished it. The result was his 11th home run of the season, which put the Royals on top, 7-1.

Said Cincinnati manager Justin Aaron: "Our approach was outstanding all night long."
