Royals Score Late to Nip Eagles, 5-4
The Cincinnati Royals picked up a win at The Castle, downing the Indianapolis Eagles, 5-4. On the mound for Cincinnati was left-hander Greg Sandlin, who played a pivotal role in the win. Colin Lambert, credited with the win in relief, is now 7-4. He allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. Cameron Hutchinson converted his 33rd save in 37 tries.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Jay Bloms came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Indianapolis pitcher James Gibson, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Cincinnati on top, 2-1.

"If you want to be considered a good team, these are the kind of games you have to win," said Cincinnati manager Justin Aaron.

Today's win puts Cincinnati at 88-65, while Indianapolis falls to 82-71.
