GB, in their road greys, got some good work in against the Royals pitchers led by Cy Young Award winner, Zack Greinke.
Harry Ford, in the DH role, went 2 for 4 as GB and Nick Ward continued to make good contact.
British fans were delighted to get a glimpse of Zack Greinke who demonstrated his pedigree over three innings.
Liverpool’s Ian Blease described the experience as “Zack Greinke is pitching against GB. I don’t know what normal is anymore.”

The facilities were impressive as you would expect but like the previous day, the volunteers at the field were simply amazing.
“It was an awesome experience having Great Britain and its fans in Surprise last year.
“Seeing their passion and excitement for baseball, along with talking to players about their ties to Great Britain and why they decided to play for their country, made it one of my favourite days in Spring Training.
“I know the Royals enjoyed playing a different team and having that experience as well,” said Anne Rogers, the Royals beat writer for MLB.com
