The DSL Royals 1 team started playoffs yesterday with a win over the DSL Rockies.  Here is the box for the 9-7 victory.

Alex Gordon and Humberto Arteaga got to pitch yesterday for the Royals.  It was not a good night but Royals fans had fun watching position players pitching.

Yesterday I wrote a quick review about the week the Naturals had.  NWA Week in Review: August 19-25.

The Arizona Royals scored 5 in the first inning en route to a 10-7 victory.  There were four players who recorded a three-hit game including Bobby Witt, Jr.

The Burlington Royals won 3-2.  Marlin Willis started and has been throwing the ball well recently.  That streak continued yesterday.

Idaho Falls had an off day.

Lexington got rained out.

The Blue Rocks got beat 3-1 and Kris Bubic took the loss.  He allowed 2 runs in 7.0 innings so it’s not like he pitched poorly.  They just didn’t score enough runs.

Brady Singer earned the win for the Naturals going 7.0 innings and allowing 1 run.  Khalil Lee had two hits and stole another base.

Arnaldo Hernandez gave up 1 hit in 8.0 innings for the Storm Chasers.  That was a first inning double to the third batter of the game.  Other than that, only one other batter reached on a walk and he was promptly erased on a double play.  Arnaldo Hernandez is still a good pitcher who works in the mid-90’s, he just had a bad year with a juiced baseball.
