ROYAL OAK, Mich.<\/b> – In what was an exciting series at Memorial Park, the Royal Oak Leprechauns scored a combined 54 runs in their four-game sweep of the Richmond Flying Mummies.<\/span><\/p>\n In a historic opening game of the series, the Leprechauns put up a franchise high in runs with their 23-6 victory on Tuesday. Although every single hitter in the starting lineup reached base at least three times, one player who stood out was outfielder Luke Kosko.<\/span><\/p>\n Not only did Kosko collect five hits, including two home runs and two doubles, but he also tallied a Royal Oak record 10 RBIs in a single game, earning Northwoods League Player of the Night on July 22 with his performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Besides Kosko, Connor Larkin was the other Leprechaun with multiple RBIs, driving in four runs and reaching base in all five of his plate appearances.<\/span><\/p>\n On day two of the series, a scheduled doubleheader meant a pair of games at The Lucky Corner, both of which ended in walk-offs for the home team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In the day game, Mateo Noto sealed the 7-4 win with a 10th inning three-run home run to cap off a three-hit game. Earlier in the contest, both Mark Collins and newcomer Kam Yearsley launched home runs of their own, with all of the Royal Oak runs scoring by way of the longball.<\/span><\/p>\n In the nightcap of the doubleheader, it was some more late-game heroics to get the 5-4 win, this time courtesy of Mason Barth.<\/span><\/p>\n
