How It Happened

Thomas gave up a grand slam to Warner in the 4th inning.  The Royals saw runner reach by an error, a single, and a walk, prior to the homerun.  Despite Warner threatening in other innings, that would be the only time the Royals were able to plate any runs.

Thomas would attempt a comeback in the 7th inning, when Jaelynn Vialpando led off the inning with a walk.  Elizabeth Soto was hit by a pitch during the next at bat.  Kennedy Hardy would single to right field to drive in Leah Grant, who was inserted as a runner for Vialpando.  Alley would later score on a wild pitch.  Despite having a runner on second base with one out, the Night Hawks were unable to sustain the rally, and would lose, 4-2.
