Lucas Punkari/Daily Herald Prince Albert Royals shortstop Brady Robin prepares to make a throw during Wednesday’s road game against the North Battleford Beavers.
As has been the case throughout the 2021 Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League AA season, the Prince Albert Under-18 Royals bats were humming on Wednesday night.
The Royals improved to record to 14-7-1 on the campaign thanks to 10-3 and 11-3 triumphs over the host North Battleford Beavers at Beaver Lions Stadium.
“I think we just got on the bats early and took control of the game,” Royals player Jack Mortimer said. “We made them play up to our level and we didn’t play down to theirs.”

“I thought we were solid and played very well defensively in the first game, but we just couldn’t hit the ball and that was the difference,” Royals coach Ken Malenfant said. “It was a closer game than what the final score ended up being, but their pitcher (Josh Curtin) was pitching really well.
