Jordan started the month on a ten-game on base streak hitting .419 with three doubles, two home runs and seven RBI during that time.
Through 44 games with the Sea Dogs this season, he continues to lead the Eastern League in OBP (.415), ranks second in RBI (37) and OPS (.928), third in average (.320), fourth in runs (30) and fifth in slugging percentage (.513).
Jordan was previously awarded Eastern League Player of the Week for the week of May 19th through 25th.
