“When the lights are on, Devin Hairston’s the guy you want at the plate.”
The word coming from Dan McDonnell, coach of the University of Louisville baseball team following a 7-5 win in a game that clinched two out of three in a series against Wake Forest over the weekend.
That’s saying something when your team has players like Brendan McKay, with a hefty .388 batting average, and Drew Ellis, currently hitting .364. They get the attention of the professional scouts. Hairston gets the job done with runners on base.
Hairston is leading the team in runs batted in with 36 of them through 31 games.
