Royals Fall to Mustangs, Elimination Game Against OUAZ Suspended

Mesa, AZ - The No. 3 Hope International University baseball team (39-8) fell in a surprising upset to the Master's University Mustangs 8-3 in their first game of the GSAC Championships on Monday afternoon at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, AZ. 

Trey Seeley (10-1) got the start and took his first loss pitching 7 innings allowing four runs, three earned on seven hits while walking three and striking out seven. Colby Moran led the Royals offense going 1-for-3 with 2 RBIs and a home run.

The game was scoreless until the top of the third when the Mustangs got two runs to take a 2-0 lead. Seeley would bounce back to get a double play to limit the damage. The Royals then had a great chance to score in the bottom of the fourth but were unable to take advantage of runners on the corners with one out as they continued to trail. 

The Royals continued to look for answers but it was the Mustangs who took advantage of a series of Royals miscues to extend their lead to 8-0. The Royals didn't give up as Colby Moran smashed his 11th home run of the season, a two run shot to make it 8-2 in the bottom of the eighth. The Royals left it too late though as they made it 8-3 on a fielder's choice by Julian Francois but that's all they were able to get as they fell into the losers bracket.

The Royals then faced OUAZ in an elimination game which was suspended in the bottom of the sixth inning with the Royals ahead 9-4 due to a blackout caused by a power surge. The game will resume tomorrow April 29 at 9:00 AM.
