Burlington Royals 3 Johnson City Cardinals 2
The Royals got good pitching and their usual #BTownBombSquad power Friday night to finish off the defending champs and advance to the Appy League Finals. Â Burlington put together just five hits but as usual one of them left the yard this time off the bat of Mark Threlkeld in the 2nd inning to give the Royals a 2-0 lead. Â A sac fly in the 5th would extend the lead to 3-0 which would be enough for starter Daniel Hernandez and recently called up right-hander Miguel Almonte. Â Hernadez put down seven via strikeout in his six innings allowing just one run on six hits before turning things over to the recently called up Almonte. Â The Dominican right-hander, Almonte allowed a run in the 9th on a two out double but extinguished the Cardinals rally with his fourth strikeout in three innings. Â This is the first time as a Royals affiliate Burlington has advanced to the championship series.

Â While they were doing the work on offense Yordano Ventura was doing enough to keep the Naturals ahead while on the hill. Â Ventura allowed just one run in 5.2 innings while working around four hits and a couple of walks, striking out three in that time to secure his first AA win.
