And catcher Brett Nicholas, whose playing time has diminished since the arrival of first-round draft pick Kellen Deglin, had the biggest hit of all, an eighth-inning grand slam for his second professional homer.
“I was hoping for a fastball and gearing up for it, and luckily things met right,” said the Phoenix native, who had family in the stands. “It’s a memory that I’ll keep forever.”

A big reason the Royals beat a good team last night was new B-Royal infielder Michael Liberto's three-run triple in the third. He got that shot after Danville elected to intentionally walk Luis Piterson. The 5'7" product has had it happen before, and he uses it as motivation. "People look at me as a short guy who can't hit it out of the infield," Liberto said. "I just take it personally and try to do whatever I can to get a hit."
