Noah Wimberly finished off a rundown with this tag.

Because it’s a best of three series, one would be hard pressed to call Brody Little’s first home run of the season a season-saver. But it gave a jolt to a Bleckley offense that struggled in a game one loss and was clinging to a one-run lead in game two.

Carson Waters sets to throw from short.

A run by Harlem in the third tied things 2-2 in game one. They went ahead on two in the fifth and added two more in the sixth. BC had just three hits following the second inning in losing 6-2. Sam Knighton was 2 for 4.

Andrew Butler slides into third base.

The Royals led 1-0 in game two on a third inning RBI groundout by Steven Knighton. They had just one hit at that point. In the fourth, Cody Dennis’ RBI single scored Chandler Abney. Brody Little came up, and delivered a blast over the right field fence, his first high school home run.

Fans stand and applaud in the fourth inning of game two.

Five in the fifth blew the game open. Dennis’ RBI groundout in the sixth capped all scoring in a 10-1 Royals win. Little was 3 for 4 with 3 RBI. Dennis was 2 for 4 with 1 RBI. Lane Kitchens went 3 for 5 with 1 RBI. Tripp Purser struck out seven, giving up two hits in seven innings.
