    ABOUT LAST NIGHT...:Patrick Leonards bases-loaded two-run single off Julio Carmona in the bottom of the ninth gave the Burlington Royals a 6-5 win on Sunday atBurlington Athletic Stadium. Chris Elder led off the Burlington ninth with a single against Carmona and he moved up a base on Jose Rodriguezs sacrice bunt. Carmona got twstrikes on Humberto Arteaga before walking him. That set up a showdown with the game on the line against 2011 fth-overall draft pick Bubba Starling. Carmona also got twostrikes on the star center elder before walking him to load the bases. Leonard, the Appy Leagues leading home run hitter, followed with a are to shallow center that droppedfor a hit to score Elder and Arteaga and give the Royals another shocking come-from-behind victory. Blueeld struck very quickly in the rst inning when Dwight Smith doubledlead off the game and Santiago Nessy crushed a two-run homer two batters later to give the Jays a 2-0 lead. Burlington came back with three unearned runs off Tucker Jensenin the bottom of the third to take the lead. In the next half inning, Christian Lopes homered on the rst pitch from starter Yender Caramo to tie the game at three. Lopes added aRBI single an inning later to put the Jays ahead, but the lead didnt last long. The Royals rallied in the bottom of the fth and tied it on a Leonard single that brought home TerraGore. Justin James nearly got out of a man-on-third, no-out jam, but couldnt get the third out. Dwight Smith walked to lead off the seventh against Jossiel Martinez, then moveon a sacrice bunt and wild pitch. He was still at third base with two outs when Art Charles broke out of his slump. The big rst baseman snapped an 0-for-15 skid with a doubthe top of the center-eld fence to make it 5-4 Jays. Brandon Dorsett was outstanding in three innings of relief and stood to get the win before Burlingtons comeback. He worka perfect sixth and seventh before running into trouble in the eighth. With one out, Leonard singled and Kenny Diekroeger doubled to put the tying and go-ahead runs into scorinposition. Dorsett retired Fred Ford on a shallow y to right before he struck out Mark Threlkeld looking to preserve the lead.

    VS. THE ROYALS:These two clubs met in Burlington two weeks ago and the visiting Jays won two out of three for their only series win so far in 2012. Art Charles belted thome runs in a 10-5 win in the opener on June 25 and Tom Robson, Kevin Comer and Colby Broussard combined on a four-hitter in a 3-0 win on June 26. The Baby Jays missechance at a sweep on the 27th, with Burlington coming back from 3-1 down in the seventh inning to win 4-3. The Royals struggled last year to a 24-44 nish and the Jays feas

    on Burlington in 2011, going 7-2 in the season series. Blueeld took two of three at home from July 18-20, with the only loss coming in 11 innings. They swept the Royals a welater on the road by a combined score of 22-3. They played again at Bowen Field from August 16-18 and won the series again, winning a rain-shortened rubber game. Returninreliever Les Williams pitched ve scoreless innings against the Royals spanning two appearances.

    - TONIGHTS PITCHING PROBABLES -NORRIS: One of the most highly-touted prospects in the Toronto farm system takes the mound as the Jays look to avoid the road sweep. Lefty Daniel Norris last pitched oWednesday against Danville. Despite walking four in three and one-third innings, he struck out seven and held the Braves to only run in an eventual Blueeld win. His opponentbatting average of .151 is the second-best mark in the league behind Blake Snell of Princeton (.105). The 2011 second-round pick was rated by Baseball America as the fourthprospect in the Jays entire organization. In 2011 BA ranked him second among high-school prospects and 91st overall. The former Clemson signee struck out 123 batters in 68innings as a senior at Science Hill HS in his native Johnson City, TN.

    CONROY: Southpaw Patrick Conroy draws the start for Burlington tonight. Hes won his last two starts, one on the road in Johnson City (with six shutout innings) and oneagainst Bristol on Wednesday. In that start against the White Sox, he allowed two runs on six hits, striking out seven with one walk. The six-foot-four native of San Rafael, Califowas drafted in the 32nd round of last months draft out of the College of Marin in Kenteld, CA.

    DJ VU:Last nights loss was the second night in a row and the third in eight days that the Jays lost a game in which they had the lead with two outs and two strikes in thninth. The Jays were also a strike away from a win on Sunday at home against Pulaski before the Mariners rallied off Colby Broussard to win in shocking fashion.

    MONSTER COMEBACK:Catcher Santiago Nessy homered again last night. It was his second straight game with a homer and his third in four games since coming off thdisabled list on July 4th. In four contests after missing ten games with a hamstring injury, hes 5-for-16 (.313) with a run batted in in each game (seven total).

    EIGHT IS ENOUGH:Right elder Nico Taylor went 0-for-4 with three groundouts and a yout on Sunday, snapping his eight-game hitting streak. It was the Jays longesthitting streak of the season so far, one game longer than that of Carlos Ramirez, who was called up to Short Season-A Vancouver and replaced by Taylor as the regular right eTaylor had been on an 11-for-25 tear (.444) prior to last nights 0-fer.

    NIGHTLY ART CHARLES ON BASE STREAK UPDATE:Art Charles walked and hit what would have been the game-winningdouble last night, extending his on-base streak to 19 games, spanning every Blue Jays game this season. Hes the only Appy Leaguer to reain every game so far in 2012. Arts on-base streak dating back to last season is up to 27. The day before he began that streak on August 232011, he had just had a 15-gamer snapped, so the Bakerseld native has reached in 42 of his last 43 games. His .444 on base percentage the third-best in the league, in part because his 21 walks also lead the loop. Hes tied for fth in the league in home runs with four.
