You can put it on the board.....Yes!

A little Chicago White Sox tribute there, even though I'm not a White Sox fan. The Royals notched their 2nd win of the year Wednesday 1-0. It was a very well pitched game on both sides as the Nevada pitchers and Royal pitchers battled all night. Things started off great for the Royals as Alex Good retired Nevada's first 3 batters, 2 on strikeouts and one on a pop up back to him, then in the Royals half of the 1st inning Jared Johnson led off with a double and scored on Ben Peppers base hit. Alex Good then followed with a single and things looked like it would be an offensive explosion for the Royals. But to the Nevada pitchers credit, he really buckled down and got the next batter to fly out to right and then struck the next 2 batters out to get out of the jam. That run proved to be the only one needed but not without a couple of anxious moments for Royal fans. Alex Good and Jared Johnson combined for 13 strikeouts on the night and allowed only 2 hits to the Nevada batters. Alex Good in a dominant performance allowed only one runner on a bobbled come-backer that the runner beat out to first. Other than that Alex struck out 8 of the 10 batters he faced. Jared Johnson came in in the 4th inning and struck out 5 of the 8 batters he pitched to. Defensively the Royals quelched the 2 Nevada threats during the game one on a triple that was hit sharply down the line just inside the 3rd base bag in which Garret Tiarks chased down the ball and quickly got it in to hold the runner there and the other being a double hit to right that Parker Eley chased down and threw to Garret Tiarks who relayed it to 3rd to hold the runner at 2nd. After both, Royal pitchers shut down the next batters to strand the runners on base. Offensively the Royals had four hits on the night, 3 of which came in the first and the only other actual hit being Grant Tiarks' triple to right center field in the 4th. Additional balls were put in play by the Royal batters as Nic Price, Dillion Gill, and Grant Tiarks all hit the ball and were robbed of hits by nice plays made by the Nevada team. The Royals hope to build on the success when they play again Monday night in Zearing.
