A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Cincinnati Royals and Tampa Bay Captains.

Cincinnati first baseman Aaron Jalbert played a vital role in his team's 7-2 conquest of Tampa Bay. He went 2-3 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for Cincinnati. Cincinnati now sits at 39-37, while Tampa Bay falls to 28-48.

In the bottom of the third, Jalbert had a 2-run home run for Cincinnati. It was his 13th home run of the season and put the Royals on top, 2-1.

"The name on the front of this uniform is all that matters to me," Jalbert told the Cincinnati Citizen. "And padding the Cincinnati win column."
