The Mason County Royals rallied with two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning and beat the Normandy Invaders of Parma, Ohio 4-3 Thursday in their final game at Tampa Bay Spring Training.
The Royals only had three hits off Kent State signee Ben Rabatin, but the hard-throwing right-hander threw two wild pitches that brought home the tying run and the go-ahead run.
Rabatin, who hit 94 MPH on the radar gun several times, struck out 11 and walked one.
Mason County starter Landon Scilley allowed three runs on six hits, strking out nine and walking one in six innings.
Royals reliever Cameron Rosel walked the first three batters in the seventh inning, but pitched out of the jam to record the save. With the infield in, Mason County forced out a runner at the plate on a ground ball to short. Rosel fanned the next batter and a fly out to center field gave the Royals their third win of the spring break trip.
Trey Cracraft, Eli Porter and Connor Butler each had a hit. Porter and Carson Pugh were both hit by pitches.
Mason County (9-2) will play the Estill County Engineers Monday at 6 p.m. at Estill County in a semifinal game of the Kentucky 2A Championship Section 6 Tournament.
