FPLL Major Royals

Fleet Park Royals welcome back eight returning players from the 2009 major baseball season--Albert Rice, Tyshaun Wilson, Ned Darden, Sam Beasley, Dante Venvertloh, Ryan Ludvik, Zach Milligan and Ethan Richter. The team also had a great draft in picking up Haven Lake, Alex Holt, Evan Craige and Noah Dobrinski. What a great roster of boys. The Royals like to keep things simple for this upcoming season because we live by a simple motto: "use two hands, be an athlete and play the ball". Check back often for highlights from the Royals games this season.

The Royals take out the Nationals in five innings today with a 12-2 victory.  The highlight of the day was the pitching of Tyshaun Wilson.  Tyshaun pitched four innings of near perfect baseball giving up no runs on one hit while striking out nine while only throwing 61 pitches.  Albert Rice relieved in the fifth and gave up two unearned runs as the Royals got a little sloppy on defense. 

The Royals return to action on Thursday, May 13 vs. the Tigers.

The Braves took out the first place Royals 3-1 today in a dominate pitching performance by Jayden Schaer.  Jayden threw 4 2/3 innings of no-hit baseball while only walking four during his time. 

The Royals bats came alive with two outs in the fifth and sixth innings.  In the fifth, Ryan Ludvik drove a pitch from Braves reliever Liam Chavez to deep right field for a double to score Sam Beasley with the Royals first run.  In the bottom of the sixth, Zach Milligan and Ned Darden each had singles with two outs and brough the winning run to the plate.  The Braves were able to secure the victory though as Albert Rice grounded out to second base to end the threat and the game. 

 On the mound for the Royals, Ethan Richter pitched three innings giving up two earned runs while striking out six.  Tyshaun Wilson pitched the final three giving up no runs while strking out seven Braves.

The Royals return to action on Wednesday versus the Mets.  Game time is 6pm.
