EMERSON, GA—The Area Code Games started Thursday at LakePoint and Friday featured the first games. Follow the action on social media and stay tuned for more coverage after the event. Here are some highlights from Sunday's action...

Royals (5) vs. Rangers (7)

2022 RHP J.R. Ritchie (Bainbridge HS, WA) struck out three and allowed two hits in two innings of work.

I’ve had a string of bad luck missing home runs on video this weekend and OF Malakhi Knight (Marysville Getchell HS, WA) was one of them—a moonshot to left field. SS Cameron Cauley (Barbers Hill HS, TX) had two more hits today.

Yankees (2) vs. Brewers (5)

There was a lot of heat in this game with both starters running it up to 95. RHP Shane Panzini (Red Bank Catholic HS, NJ) was dominant to start before allowing four unearned runs on a grand slam by SS Max Muncy (Thousand Oaks HS, CA)—which I of course missed on video. Panzini finished with seven strikeouts.

RHP Evan Yates (Martin Luther King HS, CA) struck out seven in three innings as well. OF Nick McLain (Beckman HS, CA) was 1-for-2 with two runs scored. C Joe Mack (Williamsville East HS, NY) has done nothing but hit this summer and made more loud contact on Sunday.

White Sox (3) vs. Athletics (3)

This game was filled with action, so enjoy...

Nationals (4) vs. Reds (4)

And in the nightcap, we saw OF Victor Rodriguez (Montverde Academy, FL) hit an opposite field home run before a small lightning delay.
