SAN ANTONIO -- When Royals infielder Hunter Dozier came out of the game on Friday night in San Antonio, a team representative told him the media may want to talk to him before he left the ballpark.

"For what? A walk?" Dozier inquired.

That's when the infield prospect received some unexpected news -- his alma mater had just pulled out an upset in the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

Dozier, the Royals' first-round pick in 2013, is a product of Stephen F. Austin State University, a 14th seed in this year's tournament. The Lumberjacks are now headed to the next round after toppling No.
