5-for-5 Night For Catfish Player

Thanks to a 5-for-5 night by Columbus Catfish (Dodgers) CF Bridger Hunt, the Catfish avoided a sweep by the West Virginia Power (Brewers) in a South Atlantic League game Saturday night.

Hunt hit singles in the 1st and 2nd innings, doubled in the 4th and 7th, and had an RBI single in the 9th en route to a perfect 5-for-5 night.

Saturday night's performance raises Hunt's batting average to .339 in 39 games with the Catfish. That average would be high enough to lead the SAL ... if he had enough plate appearances.

He joined the Catfish on June 22nd after signing with the Dodgers, who drafted Hunt in the 9th round of the 2006 Draft. At Central Missouri State University this year, Hunt batted .415, had 74 RBIs, while hitting 9 homers, 11 triples, and 21 doubles.
