ROYAL OAK — An unlucky 13 hits were a fortune for the Royal Oak Leprechauns in a 10-7 win Friday over the Traverse City Pit Spitters.
Royal Oak scored eight runs in the third inning, and fended off a Pit Spitters late comeback attempt for the Northwoods League baseball win at Memorial Park in front of 833 fans.
