Our boys didn't slow down in the bottom of the 3rd. Maikel Garcia and Bobby Witt Jr. set the stage with a single and an intentional walk, respectively. Vinnie Pasquantino kept the momentum going with an RBI single that scored Garcia, and Salvador Perez added another RBI with a single that brought Witt Jr. home. When MJ Melendez reached on an infield single, we notched another run to cap off a strong inning at 5-1! 4th & 5th Innings: Keeping the Pressure On 
Kyle Isbel joined the home run party with a solo blast to right center in the 4th. And in the 5th, small ball and smart baserunning paid off as Renfroe and Melendez both singled, and Freddy Fermin hit a sacrifice fly to expand our lead to 7-1.Guardians Try to Fight Back
The Guardians found a couple of opportunities to score, but our defense held strong. Jhonkensy Noel’s double in the 7th and a sac fly by Daniel Schneemann in the 8th weren't enough to faze our boys. They tightened up and kept the Guardians at bay with solid pitching and error-free fielding.Explosive 8th Inning Finish! 
The bottom of the 8th was the knockout punch. With Garcia showcasing his speed with a single, a stolen base, and scoring on a wild pitch, the Royals were set. Pasquantino’s homer to bring in Witt Jr. was the cherry on top that extended our lead to a dominating 10-3. Closing It Out in Style 
Carlos Hernández shut down any hopes the Guardians had left with a solid 9th inning, sealing our 10-3 victory. A special shoutout to our pitchers for keeping their composure and effectively managing the game. What a fantastic performance by our Kansas City Royals!
