Big Day for Justus as Royals Down Hops, 10-4
A 4-RBI performance from the 23-year old shortstop Matt Justus helped the Kansas City (SS-A) Royals beat the Hillsboro Hops, 10-4. The winning pitcher was 24-year old left-handed pitcher Garrett Youngblood. He tossed 141 pitches over 9 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits. Kansas City (SS-A) is third in the North Division with a record of 23-18.

Chris Freeman had a big 3-run home run for the Royals in the top of the first inning. With Kansas City (SS-A) leading 2-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he sized up a sinker from 18-year old left-handed pitcher Matt Archambault and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Royals on top, 5-0.

"We came out aggressive," said Royals manager Travis Brassard. "We came out swinging the bats."
