Under-18 Royals split weekend road games in Unity and Lloydminster
The start of the Prince Albert Under-18 Royals ten-game road swing was an absolute roller coaster.
In the first of two contests for the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League AA division squad on Saturday, the Royals fell behind early and lost a lopsided 23-7 affair to the 12-4-1 Unity Cardinals.
Their rematch later that day was a much tighter affair, but the Cardinals completed the sweep with a 13-12 victory.
“We were just coming off a game (against the Saskatoon Athletics at Andy Zwack Field last Tuesday) where we struck out 18 times and all of sudden we found ourselves down 10-0 in the first inning to Unity,” Royals coach Geoff Gay said.
