An errant throw on the play was one of multiple errors during a five-run fifth inning that helped the Blue Devils win 9-0. That was way more support than needed for Hall (9-0) on the mound. He gave up just two hits and two walks with one strikeout in a complete game shutout. Brayden Campbell and Jaxon Tate had the only hits for the Royals (9-7, 3-5 N10). Campbell (2-5) was the losing pitcher, giving up seven runs, though only two were earned because of three untimely Wynford errors. Campbell surrendered seven hits and two walks with three strikeouts in five innings. Landon Miller pitched the final two innings, giving up two runs on two hits and a walk. With Seneca East losing to Upper Sandusky, Carey now has a three-game lead in the N10 standings with four games to play. The Royals play at 5 p.m. today at Lucas before facing the Blue Devils again at 5 p.m. Wednesday at Carey. Score by innings Carey 000 250 2 — 9 9 1 Wynford 000 000 0 — 0 2 3 WP: G.
