With the Jays leading 10-9, Connor (2) of the Royals drove in the tying and winning runs with a massive two RBI line drive into deep right field.

- Griff (3), a call up from the Mosquito Division, contributed with a hit and a walk.
- Jack had two hits and had two RBI’s, while pitching two solid innings allowing five runs.
- Sam (7) also had a strong game on the mound and at the plate.

- Jeremy (15) was a force on the base paths, stealing five bases, scoring three times.
- Yuki (4) also stole three bases and scored three times.
- Special thanks to Jack from the Lizzies who played outfield for the entire game for both teams. He made a great catch off Jack from the Jays in the 1st inning. It would have been a two bagger for sure.
