In the final weeknight game of the 2017 season for the Boars, the team desperately needing to win out to make a move in the MVABL standing. Fell short as the mistakes and errors added up and proved costly for the Boars

 

The Royals attack started early and the miscues and mistakes piled up and Royals poured it on leading 4 to 0 after the 1st inning, Boars pitcher Markus Hall did all he could to get a ground ball or a pop-up but throwing errors and dropped balls were the order of the day, and to add insult Boars bats were just numb with NO hitting.

After 3 innings the Royals were up by 12 to 0 and were poised to complete the game when Boars bats woke up The Boars scoring 4 runs in the 4th to break up the shut out. 

Boars team Captain Meade Tabata laced a double to centerfield and scored along with Doug Adkins , Travis Knight and Zach Carroll also crossed the plate in the 4th inning Boars trailed 12 to 4.

But defense was not strong enough to hold back the Royals who came right back and put 3 back on the board in the bottom of the 4th to again lead 15 to 4 after 4 complete.

The Boars gave up 2 more in the runs in the 5th before K.J. Jimison was brought on to stop the Royals and he did but the damage had been done. The Boars bats went back into hibernation and were quiet the rest of the game giving the Royals Pitcher Tyler Evans the win.

Boars Offensive player of the game was Meade Tabata who was 2 for 4, 1 R, and a 2B.

Boars defensive players of the game were Markus Hall, 3 Assist and 1 Recorded P/O and a stabbing short hop catch to turn a double play.

K.J. Jimison 2 IP, 0-H, 0-R, 0-BB and 1-K.

Next up for the Boars is the season finale with the Wright Knights on August 13, at Action Sports at 1:00pm
