TEAM RISP- Royalty: 9 for 16  MoonlightGraham: 0 for 10
WEB GEMS- Bot 8th: Rowland Office robbed Al Oliver of an extra base hit.

Third baseman Graig Nettles knocked 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI and John Denny
completed the game without help from the bullpen as the Cincinatti Royalty
destroyed the Iowa MoonlightGraham by a score of 16 to 1 at The
Cornfield.

Nettles really lit it up for Cincinatti.  The Iowa fans let him have it for
what he did to their boys.  He slapped a single in the 2nd inning, banged out
a one-base hit knocking in a run in the 3rd inning, belted a three-run homer
in the 4th inning and smashed a solo-shot out of the park in the 6th inning.
Cincinatti bats were hot in the 4th inning which saw them plate 5 runs on 4
hits.  The Cincinatti offense man-handled the Iowa pitching staff as they
scored in 7 of the 9 innings.  

The victory was credited to Denny(1-0) who went the distance, allowing 1 run.
Dennis Martinez(5-4) was the loser.  He served up 4 gopher balls in 9
innings.
