Royals Handle Chicago, Snag 5-1 Win
The Cincinnati Royals satisfied the home crowd at The Castle, treating them to a season-opening win, 5-1, over the Chicago Gangsters. Starting Pitcher Dave Harvey was the standout performer for Cincinnati. The winner was Harvey. He threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball. The loser was Sam Palacios.

Had Heath Sherlock not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Sherlock hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Royals.

"Hustle and hard work is a big part of our success," said Harvey. "Those qualities define our team."
