Shorecrest took an early lead in the first 4-0, thanks in part to a wet, slick field that had the Royals slipping and the Chargers with three consecutive singles.

Kevin Stanton led the bottom of the third with a triple. Conner Weekes  scored from third on an third baseman error to make it 4-1 in the bottom of the second.  Then Stanton was in from third to make it 4-2.

In the sixth, a single up the center by Payden Roberts scored Stanton to make it 5-3. The Royals almost pulled off a rally in the bottom of the sixth, but Hunter Boutwell struck out with runners on second and third for the final out of the inning.
