Kansas City (SS-A) Breaks Through for First Win in Round 2; Now Trails 2-1
The Kansas City (SS-A) Royals have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Eugene Emeralds, winning, 3-2, at Melaleuca Field. Royals right-hander Mike Sanchez threw 5.1 innings of 4-hit ball. The win cuts the deficit facing the Royals to 2-1 in the best-of-7 Round 2.

Chris Freeman took Eugene hurler Tyler Hintze deep in the bottom of the fourth. His 2-run home run put the Royals on top, 3-1. In all, Freeman had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

"Tough loss," said Eugene manager David Larson. "But we'll learn from it."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Melaleuca Field in Idaho Falls.
