Announcement
The Royals came back from Spring Break showing a little rust, but still coming out with an 11-5 win tonight at Fleet Park. The bats of the Royals were hot as we continued to put the ball in play. Sam Houle lead the charge with two big hits driving in three runs. Also contributing solid hits for the team were Zach Milligan, Brett Schulwolf, Stephen Davis, Ethan Richter and Max Baker. All thirteen Royals reached base tonight, but the team also gave up four outs on the bases because of their aggressive base running including being thrown out at home three different times.
In the field, we played solid defense committing only one error. Our players moved around from position to position as we are giving our kids the opportunity to play a few different positions. We will be continuing that over the next few games as we are coaching our players to learn a couple of positions. We did turn a fourth inning double play.
Our pitching was excellent tonight as we threw strikes when needed to get out of jams. The Mets hit the ball well. Markey Howlett pitched the first two innings. Stephen Davis pitched the third, fourth and fifth inning, with Ethan Richter finishing the game in the sixth.
We return to action on Saturday against the Tigers at 11:30am. Go Royals.
