Royals Get 8-4 Win Versus Boston
Cincinnati met Boston in a late-season showdown.

Cincinnati parlayed a decent outing from starter Dave Harvey into a solid win over the Boston Whistlers. The final score was 8-4. Gary Barone earned his 4th save in 5 chances.

Scott King had a big 2-run double for the Royals in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Cincinnati leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a fastball from Matthew Rowlands, who is tied for 6th in the AC in complete games with 1, and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 26th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Royals ahead, 3-0.

"I like our moxie," said Royals manager Justin Aaron.

With the win, Cincinnati raised its record to 86-64.
