The Norfolk Tides defeated the Durham Bulls yesterday, 13-4, and if we were voting for Most Tideland Player, the winner would be first baseman Josh Lester in a landslide.
Lester was one of the lefty-batting first base hopefuls in spring training. He did not make the big league team (neither did any of the other hopefuls) but he has hit the ground running at Triple-A. After homering once in the first game of the season, he added on three more yesterday!
Lester hit a dinger in each of his first three at-bats, two two-run jacks, and a solo.
