Royal lost a heartbreaker to Moorpark when they met back in April of 2024, and they left with a heavy heart again on Tuesday. The Highlanders took a 5-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Musketeers. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Musketeers this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 3-1 back in April.
Reese Dugar spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and two unearned) runs on 11 hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Emily Albert made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double.
Royal has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 12-11 record this season. As for Moorpark, the victory (which was their fourth in a row) raised their record to 16-5.
As of now, neither Royal nor the Musketeers have any future games scheduled.
