The Royals started their participation in the Midwest Elite Tournament with two victories at the University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio. The Royals beat The Northern Stars from Lafayette, Indiana 8-0 in the first game and defeated the Ohio Sharks from Reynoldsburg, Ohio 11-4 in the second game.
Dolan Dunigan started the first game and pitched a complete game shout out allowing 6 hits over the 6 innings pitched along with 4 walks and 5 Ks.
The Royals belted out 10 timely hits on their way to scoring 8 runs. The offence was lead by Jeff Slasor and Daryl Taube. Slasor hit 3 singles, scored 2 runs and had 3 rbi. Taube had 2 doubles and 3 rbi. Matthew McCue added 2 singles and scored a run. Daniel Campos had a single, scored a run and added an rbi. Andrew Bolton also had a single. The game was stopped with 2 outs in the bottom of the sixth inning due to the 8 run lead by the Royals.
In the second game the Ohio Sharks took a 2-0 lead in the first inning and had a 3-1 lead at the end of three innings. Dolan Dunigan lead off the 4th inning with a home run to left field that seemed to take the wind from the Sharks sails and the Canadians went on to bat around and take a 4-3 lead, a lead they would not give up. The Royals would add 4 runs in the fifth and 3 in the sixth to make the final score 11-4.
Once again the pitching was very good for the Oakville team. Paul Anderson went 5 2/3 innings allowing 4 runs, 3 earned, on six hits, 3 walks and 5 Ks. Brendan Ellingham came in to relieve Anderson and after walking the first batter he faced, got the a pop up to second to end the game.
The Royals for the second game in a row had 10 hits. Matthew McCue lead the way with a triple, 2 singles, 3 runs scored and 2 rbi. Joshua Lee-Him was swinging a hot bat as he hit two doubles and a single to go along with his 4 rbi. logan Karse had 2 singles, scored 3 runs and drove in two. Slasor added another single and Leff and Campos added 1 rbi each. Del Pozo also contributed by walking twice and scoring twice.
