Kansas City (SS-A) Royals (9-7) 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 6 0

Tight Tilt Goes to Emeralds, 3-2
The Kansas City (SS-A) Royals got a superb performance from pitcher Josh Tucker, but the Eugene Emeralds still won the game, 3-2. Tucker threw 5.1 innings of shutout ball. The win gives Eugene a record of 8-7.

Had John Serrano not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Serrano hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Emeralds.

"Coulda, shoulda, woulda," said Kansas City (SS-A) manager Travis Brassard. "We had our chances and didn't cash in."
