Brancati goes 4-for-4 to Power Royals Offense
The Kansas City (AZL) Royals defeated the Cleveland (AZL) Guardians, 7-0. Doing his part was first baseman Bobby Brancati, who went 4 for 4 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The Royals are now 26-12.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Nick Gray? The Kansas City (AZL) designated hitter had a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Royals on top, 2-0. For the game, Gray had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"We believe in ourselves and we're willing to work hard. It's a good combination," Brancati told the Kansas City (AZL) Bulletin.
