DAY IN SPORTS: NEWBURY PARK STOPS ROYAL.

Byline: Daily News

Surprise, surprise: A 1-0 Marmonte League softball game.

After losing eight 1-0 games last season, Newbury Park finally ended on the winning side of that score, upsetting No. 3 Royal of Simi Valley on Tuesday at Newbury Park High.

Justine Barnett walked to lead off the bottom of the first and scored on Robyn Wike's two-out groundball to shortstop, which drew a wild throw to first.

``It's always like this in this league,'' Newbury Park coach Lynn Baum said. ``Anyone can beat anyone on any given day, and it usually comes down to who makes the first error.''

Danielle Ellement (3-1) earned the victory for Newbury Park, striking out six.

Royal pitcher Jordan McPherson tossed a one-hitter in the loss, giving up only a single to Kacey Graziano in the fourth inning.
