NASHUA – Ah, there's nothing like having great baseball bloodlines.

Just ask Nashua Silver Knights first baseman-outfielder Ryan Berardino.

The Bentley University junior is the grandson of both noted former Red Sox right fielder Dwight Evans and former Sox coach/minor league coordinator Dick Berardino. Both are player consultants with the Sox.

"It's unbelievable," Berardino said as players reported to Holman Stadium for the first time on Monday.

I use that to my advantage."
