Emeralds Score Late, Clip Royals, 2-1
Fans brought energy and enthusiasm to the Kansas City (SS-A) Royals home opener. Steven Armstrong started for the home team against Andy Johnston for the Eugene Emeralds. The Royals were unable to reward the home crowd with a win. The final score was 2-1, Eugene. Andy Johnston, though, was impressive. Jerry Batchelder notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 2 innings. His record now sits at 1-0. Josh Ford sewed up the save, his 1st.

Eugene used the timely hitting of Eddie Wills to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Emeralds on top, 1-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We found a way to win tonight," Johnston said.
