Green went 11-for 27 with three doubles, two home runs and seven RBI for a .407 batting average and a .741 slugging percentage in six games. The Cats went 4-2 during the week, including a sweep of Edinburg over the weekend, and are now in first place.
In his sixth season in the Central/Texas-Louisiana League, the Plano, Texas, native spent his first four seasons with the Ozark Mountain Ducks, batting .281 in 2000 and .286 in 2002. He moved to Fort Worth in 2004, where he hit .273 with 8 HR, 23 doubles, and 53 RBI.
