The Roy Royals are taking a road trip to challenge the Ogden Tigers at 10:00 a.m. on Friday.
Roy can't be too happy about their upcoming road game considering what happened when they opened their season away from home on Wednesday. They fell 11-6 to Kearns.
Ogden not only won on Thursday, but they posted their biggest win since April 16, 2025 (when they won 22-4). Everything went their way against Corner Canyon as they made off with a 15-4 victory.
Jill Wood made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off four hits (and only one walk). Those seven strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one home run and seven RBI.
In other batting news, Ashley Davis was a standout: she went 1-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and one double. Another player making a difference was Baelee Ulm, who got on base in three of her five plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Ogden hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least five batters in five consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
Roy got the 'W' in their previous meeting back in March of 2020 against Ogden by a conclusive 15-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Royals since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
