The Royals started their participation in the Sandlot World Series with a 1-0 ten inning victory over the Brentwood Bull Dogs, a team from the Nashville area.
The game was played at the John Overton High School in Nashville. The Royals once again played excellent defense and Paul Anderson and Brendan Ellingham were outstanding on the mound. Paul Anderson started and went 8 plus scoreless innings allowing only 3 hits, 3 walks and striking out 3. Anderson started the ninth but after allowing a single to the first Bull Dog and walking the next two, was relieved by Brendan Ellingham. Ellingham got the first batter to pop to second, striked out the second hitter he faced and the next American hitter lined out to first base to extend the game to a 10th inning.
Andrew Bolton lead off the top of the 10th inning with a walk. The next two Royals popped out and with two outs Kaleb Leff walked moving Bolton to second. Jeff Slasor stepped up to the plate next and hit a line drive single to score Bolton and give the Canadians the 1-0 lead. The next Royal flied out to end the inning.
In the bottom of the 10th Ellingham striked out the first batter, got the next to fly out to right field and the final out was a pop up to Adam Shaver at first base.
Besides Slasor's rbi single the Royals had six more singles, one each from Campos, Taube, Del Pozo and Lee-Him and two singles from Dolan Dunigan.
The Royals will play two games tomorrow at the same location starting at 9AM.
