HAMPTON - The Apprentice School baseball team nearly completed a sweep of Regent Friday, but the Royals found a way to eek out an extra-inning win in the nightcap at War Memorial Stadium.

GAME 1 - AS 5, Regent 0
The Builders got things going early in the first inning as Landon Turner smashed one right back at the Royal pitcher, bouncing off of him and allowing an infield single that scored Jaeden Anderson to take a 1-0 lead.

After a sacrifice fly in the third made it 2-0, Isaac McCallister hit a moonshot that just kept sailing out over the left center wall to take a 3-0 lead. Jett Winslow singled in the sixth to push the score to 4-0 before McCallister's RBI double got one more across.

Nick Redman (8-1) went the distance, fanning 11 and allowing just five hits. His 11 strikeouts ties a career high, dating back to his freshman year against Penn State Mont Alto.

GAME 2 - Regent 5, AS 4 (8 inn.)
The Royals exercised some frustration in the first inning, scoring three runs off a pair of Builder errors to take a 3-0 lead before Apprentice settled in. With the bases loaded in the third, Nate Yeary got a RBI on a fielder's choice, followed by an Anderson sacrifice fly to cut the lead to 3-2.

Regent had a sacrifice fly in the fifth, and Turner answered with one of his own in the sixth. Down to their last out in the seventh, Baker Green drew a walk, setting up Yeary to triple down the right field line to tie the game at 4-4.

The Royals got out of the inning and then pushed a run across in the eighth, getting the final three outs in the bottom half to secure a split.

The Builders will be back in action on Wednesday on the road at Camp CC. First pitch of the nine-inning affair is set for 3 p.m.
