The Austin Blue Sox let a couple of early missed opportunities catch up to them as they had their season end in a 7-4 loss to the Rochester Royals in game two of their Section 2B playoff series.

The Blue Sox stranded runners on first and second in the bottom of the first and they had runners on second and third with one out in a scoreless game in the second, but they couldn’t plate a run in either frame.

The Royals took a 7-1 lead in the top of the sixth.

Austin pulled within 7-3 when Nate Wilson and Quinn Yocom knocked in runs in the sixth and Nestor Jiminez had an RBI in the seventh.
