Posted by Mike Milligan on Apr 27 2009 at 05:00PM PDT

The Nationals won tonights battle of undefeated teams with a 5-2 victory.  The Nationals score a run in the first, two in the fourth and two in the fifth on seven total hits while also reaching base on three costly Royal errors. 

 The Royals were lead at the plate tonight by Markey Howlett who had two hits while scoring one of the Royals two runs.  Zach Milligan (hit and walk with a run scored), Max Baker (single), and Ethan Richter (single) also connected for hits tonight.  Sam Houle and Stephen Davis each had an RBI in the Royals fourth inning driving in Zach and Markey, respectively. 

Zach pitched a complete game striking out eight without walking a National.  Ned Darden had an outstanding defensive night making three outstanding plays in the middle infield retiring National batters.  Markey caught a fantastic game behind the plate keeping the Nats at bay from running the bases .

The Royals return to action on Friday at 6pm versus the Yankees on Field 4.
