Monarchs Win Thriller, 6-5
The Cincinnati Monarchs racked up a win at Queen City Grounds II, bumping off the Baltimore Bannermen, 6-5. Kenneth Ranson, who started for Cincinnati, pitched effectively for his team. Ranson, who is tied for 8th in the IA in wins with 4, went the distance for Cincinnati. He gave up 5 runs on 5 hits. Cincinnati has a record of 15-12.

The game was decided with no one out in the bottom of the ninth. With Cincinnati trailing 5-4, Jonathan Hawkins hit a changeup from Hugh Brigand to left-center for a 2-run single. Just like that, the Monarchs had a walk-off win.

"I'm glad I could get it done when the game was in the balance," Hawkins said in his postgame press conference.
