Eric Karros smashed 2 homeruns at The Palace as the Michigan Timber beat the
Cincinnati Royalty by the count of 9 to 7.

Karros had a great evening at the plate.  He depressed the partisan hometown
fans with a grand slam home run in the 1st inning, slapped a single in the
3rd inning and popped a two-run clout over the fence in the 7th inning.  Both
teams totaled 13 hits on the night.  

Pat Rapp(3-4) went 3 innings allowing 1 run for the win. Trevor Hoffman
recorded the save, his 34th.  The loss was charged to Mike Sirotka(0-1) in
relief.  

Karros was in a good mood after the game, 'I'm just seeing and hitting the
ball real well now.  I made some adjustments last week and they are paying
off.  That's what this game is about. making adjustments as the season goes
along.'
