The Royals offense was held in check until the 6th inning. In a wild inning, Josh Thacker came up with the big hit that scored Chris Fair and Taylor Sobiech. Matt Henning would later score on an error to give the Royals the lead. Drew Wilson pitched the first five innings for the Royals allowing just 1 earned run while striking out 6. Taylor Sobiech pitched the final 2 innings to earn the win.
