Ashley Baker pitched to Angie Verhey for the win.

The second game was five innings and after the third, every girl who got on base was sent running early for a tag out and a quicker end to the game. Joelle Herrod hit 2 for 2 and Melissa Dixon hit 2 for 3 in that game.

Natalie Toftdahl pitched to Morgan Yearout for the win.

In the second game all the younger players got a chance to play, said Royal head coach Bill Barker.
