USSSA Metroplex Opener NIT -
Grand Prairie (13U AAA)
DBAT Mustangs - White 7 Royals 6
The Royals showed their hitting potential jumping out to a 6-0 lead in
after 2 1/2 innings, but failed to hold on to the lead. Darius roped a
double and Alex had a single, with both collecting RBIs. AJ, Trevor,
and Austin also had hits with the Royals offense all coming in the first
three frames.
The Mustangs were held to 4 singles, but way too many free passes
led to the Royals squandering their strong early lead.
Highland Village Storm - Red 6 Royals 2
A briefer strong start this time, with AJ singling to start the game,
Darius followed with another RBI double, and Olajide's single began
the game. Jackson's single in the second would be the Royals last
hit of the game.
Trevor gunned down two would be base stealers at second in the
first inning.
The Royals had a pretty strong weekend defensively, but 3 key
errors in this game, combined with 7 walks, and hitting that went
silent, determined the outcome.
Royals 3 Coppell Cowboys - Black 1
Zach got the first Royals Win of the year with a masterful pitching
performance as the Royals knocked of the higher pool play seeded
Cowboys.
Zach was aided by strong defensive play highlighted by a key
second inning double play with Jason backhanding a ball behind
second base, flipping to Trevor and over to Ty at first. Jackson also
showed great deliberate mechanics, throwing out a Cowboy at
second base in a late inning attempted steal.
The Royals bats continued to be sluggish, however, Olajide led off a
final inning with a lead off double and Jackson's RBI single brought
him home to break the 1-1 tie. Ty also had a single.
Trevor got the Save by closing out the final inning in strong fashion
with 2 easy infield outs and striking out the final Cowboy to end the
game.
NTX Bulldogs 5 Royals 2
Trevor pitched well in relief as the Royals fell to the eventual
tournament champion. Obi went 2-2, AJ went 2-3, and Alex went 1-2
with an RBI, however, that was all the hitting the Royals would get as
poor pitch selection was evident. A couple key errors and too many
walks told the rest of the story.
DBAT Mustangs - Red Invitational -
McKinney TX
Royals 5 Arlington A's 2
Darius threw a 3 hit gem and was supported by overall excellent
defense. OJ showed his range in center field and Kyle broke to the
inside and threw a strike to Trevor at second to gun down an A's
base runner that Darius picked off at first. All runs were unearned.
Alex got the offense going in the 1st with an RBI single after AJ stole
2nd and 3rd. Obi hit a smash for a double and ran the bases
aggressively in the second as the Royals pecked away for their
second run. Jackson doubled in the fourth and Obi continued his
terror on the base paths to put the Royals ahead to stay.
The Royals got a little "insurance" in the 5th, plating two runs
highlighted by Kyle's triple.
Royals 3 DBAT Mustangs - Red 2
Obi and Alex combined for another strong combined pitching
performance with one base on balls, 7 strikeouts, and held a
powerful hitting Mustangs squad to 4 hits in the 6 inning contest.
Alex got the win shutting down the Mustangs in the final 1 2/3.
Obi tripled, Trevor doubled, and together with Olajide and Darius led
the Royals offense. The Royals showed their baseball IQ by moving
the runner over in critical situations. Darius fought off a two strike
count to end the game with a "walk off" infield squib to bring AJ
home from third.
Oklahoma Elite 16 Royals 6
Not much of value to report, although the Royals did hit the ball well.
AJ, Kyle, Obi, and Jackson (2-2) led the offense. The team failed to
communicate on defense and showed little fight (pride), which will be
a point of emphasis going forward.
Royals 14 Mac-n-Seitz Indians 12
The Royals were really in command of this game after the third
inning, although the score doesn't represent it. The defense played
poorly, but the offense made up for it.
Trevor got the win and pitched extremely well as only 1 of the 7 runs
scored were earned. Trevor, Kyle, and Alex held the Indians to 5 hits
in the rain soaked game.
Obi capped off his best offensive weekend of his career by going 3-
3 with 3 RBIs and 2 runs scored. Ty and OJ collected singles, while
Trevor singled and had a sac fly to collect 3 RBIs. Darius doubled
and had 2 RBIs. Alex was 1-1 with 3 bases on balls. Kyle also
collected 3 bases on balls and scored 3 runs. The Royals pitch
selection at the plate overall was excellent.
