Warner Baseball – Royals Upset NAIA #2 St. Thomas For 3rd Place In 35th Warner Invitational

LAKE WALES, Fla. – Warner finishes in 3rd place this year in the 35th Annual Warner Invitational tournament after defeating the NAIA #2 St. Thomas Bobcats 12-3 in a non-conference matchup.
 
The Royals jumped out to an early 3 run lead in the 1st inning after working the bases loaded on walks followed by a sac fly, hit, and superb base running.
 
St. Thomas tallied 2 runs of their own in the bottom of the 1st but Warner took off after that and never looked back.
 
Warner added 3 more runs in the 2nd inning and a 6 run 5th inning to break the game wide open and backed that up with excellent defense and stellar pitching by Luby Fields (3-5) and Jake Ratledge.
 
Jan Martinez and Josh Strickland each racked up a multiple hit game, going a combined 4-7, with 4 RBIs and 2 runs scored.
 
The Royals have 6 home games over the next 6 days, much needed home field advantage to help the team build on the confidence of defeating the #2 ranked Bobcats in the NAIA.
