The Royals set a club record with 24 hits while slaughtering the Tigers, 21-7, in a game halted by rain in the top half of the ninth inning after Tom Poquette and Jamie Quirk each doubled with none out to account for Kaycee's last two hits and their last run. Poquette also had another double, plus two singles and an inside-the-park homer in the Royals' barrage, while Amos Otis drove in five runs and Dave Nelson accounted for four.
