In a two run game the Iowa MnlightGraham got by the Cincinnati Royalty by the
score of 5 to 3.

Iowa scored the decisive runs in a big bottom of the 8th inning scoring 4
runners on 3 hits.  The biggest moment was provided by Ron Blomberg who
elicited a roar from the hometown fans when he cleared the bases with a Grand
Slam homerun.  Iowa had 10 hits for the night.  

Eduardo Rodriguez(5-2) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 1 inning.
Rodriguez got relief help from Max Leon who gained credit for his 2nd save.
The losing pitcher was Phil Niekro(7-2).  He pitched 8 innings and
surrendered 10 hits and 3 walks.

The win by Iowa was very good news as they had been 2-8 of late.  Now their
seasonal record improves to 26-30.  Cincinnati will hope that this loss is
only a 'blip' on their recent 8-2 run - and not a start of a new trend.
