It’s no secret that the Triple-A Pacific Coast League is a hitter’s paradise, but the Las Vegas Aviators took it to a new level on Friday. The Oakland A’s affiliate launched 11 home runs, setting a PCL record for most in a single game, en route to a 20-11 victory in El Paso.
The dinger count worked out like this:
- C Sean Murphy (3)
- SS Jorge Mateo (2)
- CF Dustin Fowler (2)
- RF Mark Payton (2)
- LF Nick Martini (1)
- 1B Seth Brown (1)
There are several notable names on that list, between top prospects Murphy and Mateo, recent top prospect Fowler, and 2018 surprise rookie sensation Martini.
