The Royals 18U team won both of their games today to end up with a perfect 4-0 record and seeded number 1 going into tomorrow's championship round. In the four games the Canadian team outscored their opponents 37-6. They will now play tomorrow a semi-final game at 2:15PM at Toledo University and hopefully a championship game at 4:30PM at the same location.
The Royals started their first game at 9AM at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. Their opponents were the Scrappers 17U from South Bend, Indiana. The Indiana team would take a 1-0 lead after the first inning but that would be all the runs they would get as J.D. Bryce shout them out the rest of the way. Bryce pitched all 5 innings allowing the single run on 6 hits, 2 walks and 4 Ks.
Logan Karse was the offensive star of the game as he hit a 3 run home run to left field in the 3rd inning after he had singled in the second. Karse also scored 3 runs. Kaleb Leff hit his second home run of the tour in the 4th inning to give the Royals a 6-1 lead. Andrew Bolton chipped in with 2 singles. Dolan Dunigan and Jonathan Del Pozo both had singles. Dunigan added a run and Del Pozo scored 3 runs. The Royals continued to play excellent defense highlighted by Karse throwing out a runner at home from right field.
In the afternoon the Oakville team moved back to the University of Toledo to face the Davison Cardinals from Davison, MI. The Royals were determined to finish first in the group round and started the game with 4 runs in the first inning and never looked back. They added 2 more in the third and 3 more in the top of the fifth before the Cardinals scored their only run in the bottom of the fifth. The game was stopped after 5 due to the 8 run differential.
Logan Karse continued to be the hotest hitter on the team with an inside the park home run, 2 singles and 4 rbi. Dolan Dunigan also swung a hot bat with a triple, a single, 2 runs scored and 2 rbi. Daniel Campos added a double, a single, scored a run and had an rbi. Del Pozo hit a double, scored a run and drove in a run. Leff and Shaver had a single each. Daryl Taube walked 3 times and scored 3 times.
Alex Mann started for the Canadians and pitched 4 scoreless innings allowing only 2 hits while walking 2 and striking out four. Kyle Flemington pitched the fifth inning and allowed a run on 2 hits.
The Royals 18U team performance at the Midwest Elite Tournament to date has been outstanding as they have mercied every team they have met so far and now move to the championship round as the number 1 seed.
