Royals' six-run rally in 4th-inning not quite good enough



USTA Baseball Championships

The 11-and-under Centerfield Royals' bid for a tourney title came to an end this morning at the Mike Jacobs Sports Park. The Royals, with just one hit in the first three innings off the Northside Titans pitching staff, sent nine batters to the plate in the bottom of the fourth inning as they battled back from a 6-0 deficit to tie the game at 6-all. Jadon Price starting the inning off with a walk and Jimmy Riggin supplied the big blow with a two-run triple. Riggin was thrown out at the plate in what would have been the go-ahead run. The Northside Titans added a lone run in the fifth and two more in the sixth on a double to right field by Sammy Alberts to escape with a 9-6 win.

The Royals finished the tourney with a 1-1-1 record.

    Dan, I appreciate you recognizing Jimmy's play in both hitting & pitching. I really appreciate the coaches, parents and especially the players accepting Jimmy on the team, making him feel wanted and comfortable. This is a class organization.
