The Royals jumped out front to a 2-0 lead early, powered by a home run by Devin Berman and some big hits by Aviel Yomtobian and Ben Greenbaum. The Diamondbacks rallied to tie the game in the fourth on a bases loaded single by Avi Eisenstadter. Gotham Burger then pulled ahead with a double by Noam Mandelbaum, taking a 4-2 lead.
Down by 2 runs, 8th Day answered right back with a run in the bottom of the 4th. Thanks to the clutch hitting of Moshe ‘MoGo’ Golubtchik, they had two runners on base, in the bottom of the last inning. The Diamondbacks were able to close the door and stave off the Royals, narrowly escaping with a 4-3 victory.
The Diamondbacks now face the unbeaten and very talented Campmor Cubs in the upcoming Senior Boy Championship game.
