In a rematch of their August 2nd regular season game, the Royals sent Ryan Bowen to the hill once again countered by Greg Doucette of the Gators. The Gators scored first in the top of the first inning on an RBI ground out by Jay Thomas, but the Royals would plate 4 of their own in the bottom of the frame. Capped off by a big two run double by Mike McKie who also added an RBI ground out in the 3rd inning. The Royals scored three more runs in the 4th on a two run single by Ryan Ritell and an RBI single by Scott Weber. Bowen once again put forth a strong effort against a tough Gators team and picked up the win going 6 innings giving up 1 run on 2 hits with 2 walks and 2 strikeouts.

The Royals took on the Cubs on Sunday needing one win to secure the #2 Seed for the upcoming playoffs. And in Game 1 they did just that. After the Royals jumped to an early 4-0 lead, the Cubs chipped away and after a few innings of back and forth scoring for both sides, the Royals entered the bottom of the sixth inning with the score 6-5. It was then that the Royals bats exploded for 6 runs on 6 hits making it 12-5. It was the most hits and runs that the Royals offense had in a single game this season and was lead by Ryan Ritell's monster day at the plate (3-3, R, 2B, 5RBI, SAC Fly). Ryan Bowen picked up his 3rd win of the season pitching 6 innings while Kevin Ceurvels closed the door with a scoreless 7th. The win officially secured the 2 seed for the Royals.

Ariel Ramos (7IP; 10K, 2BB, 9H) found himself in some trouble early in the first inning allowing the first 5 batters of the game to reach. 2 runs scored before he struck out the side and kept anyone from scoring till the 7th. The Braves offense floundered all game until 2 outs in the 7th, down by two. Donnell Hightower (2-3; R, 2RBI) hit a two-run single followed by a two run double by Fernando Osario (2-4; 2B, 2RBI). That was enough for the Braves as they won 5-3 taking back first place.
