The Royals faced the Elmwood Giants out of Manitoba and jumped out to an early 4-0 lead.  The game was 4-3 Royals after 4 and then they went up 7-3 on the strength of a three run bomb from Aaron Strueby.  However, Elmwood came back with five of their own in the fifth to go up 8-7 and that's the way the game ended.  Graeme Duff threw four innings and Craig Hucul threw the final two.  Next action for the Royals is tomorrow morning at 11am against the host Trail Orioles.
