Under-18 Royals split regular season finale with Athletics
Playoff opponent still to be determined
The final weekend of the 2021 Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League AA regular season brought some added confidence to the Prince Albert Under-18 Royals.
After suffering lopsided losses to the Saskatoon Athletics at Andy Zwack Field earlier in the year, the Royals earned a measure of revenge on Saturday afternoon with a 15-14 win in Saskatoon.
“The biggest difference this time around was that we got our offence going against Saskatoon’s pitching, which wasn’t the case when we played them here,” Royals head coach Geoff Gay said.
