#OuttaHiura: Keston Hiura continues to shine at the plate for San Antonio as he clubbed two more home runs last night. Milwaukee's top prospect had another spectacular game as he went 3-for-4 with 2 runs, a double, 2 home runs, and 4 RBI. The three hits, two runs, and two home runs each matched season-highs. It was the second time this season he collected 10 total bases in a game, which is a single-game high for San Antonio this season. He also tallied 10 total bases on April 26 vs. Oklahoma City. Hiura now has 10 home runs on the year, which are tied for fourth in the PCL and his .752 slugging percentage is good for fourth on the circuit.
Follow the Leader: Nate Orf has slid back into the lead off spot and gotten hot. On May 2 he led off the game with a home run and did the same on May 3 in the suspended game that will be resumed this afternoon. He also went 2-for-4 with two runs and a walk while batting lead off last night. Overall Orf has hit at the top of the lineup seven times and San Antonio is 3-4 in those games.
