Ball State baseball alumnus Alex Call hit home runs on Saturday and Sunday for the Washington Nationals at Philadelphia after recently collecting a walk-off single against the Angels as part of a hot stretch for the outfielder since being called back up to the big leagues on July 29.
The 2016 Mid-American Conference player of the year has collected hits in 15 of 19 games during the stretch including a six-game streak of multiple knocks ranging from Aug. 6-11. Call's game-ending single in Washington's 3-2 win over the Angels on Aug. 9 put a wrap on his second three-hit game of the year in the majors.
