The Royals cut into that lead in the bottom of the fourth, when Jake Stout scored on a passed ball and Buckingham got home on Harrison’s RBI ground out. Eggers also scored on a passed ball.

Golden Eagles beat New Castle
Guerin Catholic picked up a home-field win over New Castle on Friday, by the score of 4-2.

The Trojans scored two runs in the fourth inning on an RBI double, cutting Guerin Catholic’s lead to a 3-2. But that would be as close as New Castle would get. Luke Godfrey scored on an error in the fifth inning to give GC an insurance run, and the Golden Eagles would hold on for the win.
