Coach Drew Weber said the team had a busy week against some tough competition. “Right now we are in a bit of a defensive funk. We will need to be more consistent in the field and make plays to help our pitchers out,” said Weber.
“Offensively, we have been a little bit on a roller coaster and need to get back to being more aggressive at the plate and start attacking opposing pitchers more. We have a full schedule with more tough competition on the way and it will only make us better.”
The Royals will play in Mitchell on June 16 starting at 6 p.m. On June 21, Winner/Colome will travel to Valentine, Neb.
