48,126 fans watched an exciting game at Three Rivers Stadium.  The Cincinnati
Royalty topped the Georgia Rumrunners by the slimmest of margins, 3 to
2.

Cincinnati scored 2 runs in the decisive top of the 5th inning.  Tom Griffin
got things going when he ripped a one-base hit.  Amos Otis next to the plate
and he reached on an error.  Bucky Dent then laid down a sacrifice bunt.
Steve Garvey followed next and he was walked intentionally to load the bases.
Bobby Darwin came up to bat and ripped a base-knock driving in two more
baserunners.  Georgia made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to
push the needed runs across.  

Griffin(3-5) went 6 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory. Griffin got help
from Clay Carroll who was credited with his 2nd save.  Jim Rooker(4-5) was
hit with the loss.  

'Some losses are harder to take than others' Georgia's manager lamented after
the game.  'This was one of them.'
