Royals Split on the Road versus Dakota College of Bottineau

Game one: After a slow start by the Royals the bats started to heat up in the third inning scoring two runs, and then again scoring 2 in the fourth, giving the Royals the lead. They continued to put pressure on the board with runs in the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh giving the Royals a 9 to 6 win against Bottineau. Good pitching performances from Ryan Clark through Five innings kept them in check and Brandon Walsh closing the door for the last two innings. Jeremy Moran collected four hits on the day with Jon Lund, Dakota Hoyt, Edgar Millan, Ryne Dolleslager collecting two hits each. Jacob Zach coming in big with two hits and his first career College Homerun.

Game two: Starting the game strong scoring five in the first and seven in the third giving the Royals a twelve run leading heading into the bottom of the third. When the Bottineau bats came alive, scoring six in the third, one in the fourth and six in the fifth, taking the lead. Costly hitting mistakes and falling behind in the counts from the Royals pitchers gave Bottineau a chance at a come back. It was a heart breaking loss for the team and something that will fire them for the rest of the season. Jeremy Moran and Patrick Becker hitting safely three times a piece and a monster homerun from Patrick helped our offence get on the board. Dakota Hoyt and Jacob Zach collecting another two hits on the day. 

The Royal are heading to Glendive MT to face off against Dawson Community College this weeked.

Go Royals!
