There's no place like home for Royal, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Saturday. They never let the San Marino Titans get on the board and left with a 3-0 victory on Tuesday. The Highlanders were shut out 5-0 the last time they took on the Titans, so the Highlanders were just returning the favor.
Royal's win was truly a team effort as six different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Caden Sramek, who fired off two home runs while going 2-for-3. Those two home runs gave Sramek a new career-high.
Sramek wasn't the only one working in the home run department: Royal lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.
