Albuquerque Isotopes News Release


Albuquerque, NM - Trailing by three runs in the third, the Isotopes scored four tallies to take a slim advantage.

-Hunter Goodman tallied a bases-clearing double in the third inning to extend his hit streak to six (11x26). He has an extra-base hit in seven of nine games while tallying at least three RBI in five contests. Ten of his 13 hits have gone for extra bases (five homers, five doubles). Since his promotion to Triple-A Aug. 8, his 21 RBI are the most in all of MiLB while his five homers are tied for fourth-most. He also tallied his 13th exit velocity of 100-plus MPH after his three-run double left the bat at 101.5 MPH.
