Royals Pound Opponents in District Tournament

Blissfield won its 27^th district championship Saturday with two 10-run mercy rule victories.

The Royals walloped Erie Mason 23-7 in the opener. Blissfield scored eight runs in the first inning and never looked back. Devin Suiter picked up the win.

In the second game, the Royals defeated Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central, 15-5. Eric Schmidt earned the win. The Royals were down 2-0 after the top of the first but, thanks in part to Blake Haupricht’s first varsity home run – a three-run shot over the leftfield fence – the Royals bounced back for six runs in the bottom of the inning.
