From there the Royals never looked back as they picked up four runs in the second and three in the third off RBI hits by senior Emily Poulton, Schultz, Micaela Hayes, and Samantha Martinez.
 
Cheek, Poulton, and Hayes all led the Royals with two hits in just two at bats and Schultz picked up two RBI's to lead the team.
 
Game two
 
Game two was more of a defensive effort, with the major similarity of dominant performances by Queens pitchers. Sophomore Lyndey McCurry went all seven innings for the Royals while strike out nine, giving up five hits, and zero earned runs.
 
Offensively the Royals had their first run cross the plate in the third when Whitney Britt scored on a passed ball. While their offensively they struggled to find their rhythm the home team was able to manufacture runs when Hayes and Schultz picked up RBI's in the fourth and Taylor Rosenbalm scored on an error in the sixth.
 
Offensively Miranda Cummings and Rosenbalm led the Royals with two hits in the game.
 
The Royals are now 21-21 on the season and 5-11 in conference play. They host the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne on Tuesday at Park Road Park.
