The Cincinnati Royals picked up a win at The Castle, topping the Tampa Bay Captains, 4-3. On the mound for Cincinnati was right-hander Andy Dooley. He played a principal role in the triumph. Cincinnati currently is in third place in the National Conference North East Division at 38-37.

Batting in the bottom of the ninth, 29-year old center fielder Jonathan Amorin had a real shot to win the game. Tampa Bay pitcher Jason Washington was determined not to let it happen. But with no outs, Amorin hit a run-scoring single. The Royals had a walk-off triumph.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Amorin.
