The Redlegs looked to improve to 9-2 in game 2 of the
double header against the Royals. Matt Redman took the
hill to try to continue to keep the Royal bats at bay.
In the first, the Redlegs struck first again. Matt
Morrison led off game 2 in the same way he led off game 1,
with a walk and a stolen base. He came around to score on
a single by Jacob Robinson.
The Royals tied it in their half of the first, touching up
Redman for a pair of doubles.
The Redlegs bats went quiet again while the flood gates
opened on the other side. The Redlegs usually solid
defense gave the Royals multiple extra outs. When the dust
settled, the Royals chased Redman after an inning an two-
thirds, scored 10 unearned runs and 12 runs overall to blow
the game wide open. They tacked on two more unearned runs
in the 3rd and one more in the 5th for a total of 13
unearned runs.
The Redlegs tried to claw their way back in in the later
innings. Some wildness from Royal pitching allowed 4 runs
in the 5th. Kyle Arend hit a no doubter of a homerun in
the 6th to draw the Redlegs a little closer and another
bout with wildness from the Royals walked the bases loaded
for Jackson Millard who sent one over the left wall for a
grand slam that put the Redleg scoring at 10. But the
Royals took what the Redlegs gave them with an 18 hit
attack to go along with the free outs to put 18 runs on the
board and send the Redlegs to their 3rd loss on the year.
