U18 Royals clinch spot at AA Tier 1 provincials following five straight wins
The Prince Albert U18 Royals have been on a hot streak in the Sask. Premier AA Baseball League (SPBLAA).
Over the past week, the Royals played five games and they’ve won all five, improving their record from 6-12 to 11-12 and securing a spot at the 18U AA Tier 1 Provincial Championships in Estevan during the July 26-27 weekend.
P.A. kicked off the streak by snapping a two-game skid against the Sask Five Giants at home on July 2. The Royals were hot coming out of the gate, going up 3-0 in the first inning with an Isaiah Parent RBI-double and a two-run double from Jaxson Robertson.
They continued to extend the lead over the next three innings, scoring one per as P.A. led 6-0 at the end of the fourth. The Giants finally managed to get a run across in the top of the sixth and made a dent into the Royals lead while doing so. After back-to-back singles and with runners on the corners, Eric Menzies managed to steal home on a ball to get Sask Five on the board. The following at bat, Reis Jamieson scored on a passed ball and Austin Kasahoff did the same one batter later as the score was now 6-3.
