The Notre Dame Royals took care of another tough competitor in high school baseball behind Derrin Gumataotao’s complete game on the mound, beating the Tiyan Titans 7-2 Tuesday evening. The game was stopped in the 6th inning due to darkness at the Okkodo Field.

The senior ace tossed his second complete game victory in four ND games; the first coming against the FD Friars to open the season.
The Royals came into the game 3-0 and the Titans 2-0.
Tiyan actually took a 1-0 lead in the 1st inning before the Royals tied things in the 3rd and then scored three runs each in the 4th and 5th innings.
“Great all-around team win,” said ND manager Joey Taijeron.
Junior stud Trace Taijeron paved the way going 2-for-3 with a walk, 4 stolen bases and 2 runs scored.
