Late Rally by Royals Secures 6-1 Win
The home team was supported by a raucous crowd at Burlington Athletic Stadium.

Jeff Thomas powered the Burlington Royals to a win over the Bluefield Blue Jays. The final score was 6-1. The Burlington right fielder, who is tied for 8th in the APP in bases on balls with 21, was phenomenal. He stroked 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Burlington is now 13-16, Bluefield 15-14.

Ricky Hodges, who is tied for 10th in the APP in bases on balls with 20, had a timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning. With no one out and the bases loaded, the Burlington center fielder hit a run-scoring single. That put the Royals in front, 2-1.

Thomas attributed the win to his team's "tenacity."
