The Royals battled back in game two, however, scoring three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to snap a 2-2 tie for the 5-2 win.
The results leave Langley with a 3-2 record in the BC Premier Baseball League standings.
In the opener, Michael Stovman had the lone RBI as the Blaze scored three unearned runs in the victory.
