The Hamilton Southeastern Royals took on the Yorktown Tigers in an important non-conference matchup. The Royals were standing at a record of 11-13 while the Tigers stood at a record of 11-11, the exact .500 mark. The top of the first inning wasn’t too eventful for the Tigers as Colin Goley got the first out with a ground ball. With one out down third baseman, Luke Sivak, throws to second baseman Maddox Bach, and then to first baseman Michael Hoog for an exciting double play. The Royals started off the game hot with a single from Alex Billman and after a wild pitch, Billman advanced to third. Kam Seitz stepped up and doubled off a fly ball to center field. Billman scores and the very next at bat Parker O’Steen singles, and this brings Seitz to home plate. Later in the bottom of the first Nolan Colbert grounds into a double play and brings O’Steen in to score. This run would cap off the inning with the Royals taking a 3-0 lead.
