 Wizards Top Creighton/Royals Visit

Though it's a little blurry, here is a picture of Michael Kraus scoring the game-winning goal against his former club.

Our Swope Park Rangers topped the Creighton University Bluejays 4-2 this morning on the strength of goals from Adam Cristman (2), former Creighton standout Michael Kraus and Aaron Hohlbein. Creighton scored first to make it 1-0, then Cristman put our boys ahead 2-1 before the break. Creighton then leveled early in the second half before goals from Kraus and Cristman put the game out of reach. For a more in-depth play-by-play, check out our Tweet-roll at www.twitter.com/hillcrest_road. **Update** Creighton's website offers their side of things, including their goal-scorer.

After the game, some Royals players stopped by as part of our KC Blue Sports Pack that features a ticket to the Royals game tomorrow night, a ticket to our match Saturday against Real Salt Lake, a Royals hat and a Wizards T-shirt for just $30. Buy the package now if you haven't already. Young star Billy Butler and pitchers Bruce Chen and Jamey Wright stopped by to take some penalty kicks and chat with our players. Watch Channel 9, Channel 41 or Metro Sports tonight for more on this.

A couple of pictures from the Royals' visit, thanks to Wizards intern Jason:

Billy Butler does not even look like an athlete standing next to Jimmy Conrad.
