The Kansas City (SS-A) Royals powered past the Cincinnati (SS-A) Reds, 11-8, in 10 innings at Stallions Ballpark. Shane Watrous was 2 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 3 and driving in 3, to lead the charge. The win went to Mike Sanchez in relief. His record improves to 2-3. Alfonso Jaimes took the loss. By defeating Cincinnati (SS-A), the first-place Royals improved to 19-26.

"If you were looking for a pitchers' duel," said Cruz, "this wasn't it."
