Real raises his average to .402

Alex Real is now hitting .402
The silver lining in tonight's ugly 8-0 loss to Medford (the less said, the better) was the continued excellence of Alex Real. The "Big Cat" was single-handedly responsible for one half of the hits recorded by Victoria this evening, as he put three singles on the board in five at-bats.

The hits raised his average to .402 on the season, good enough for third place in the batting race. Unfortunately for the others near the top of the leader board, Cowlitz's Devyn Bolasky just crossed the minimum threshold for plate appearances to qualify for the batting title, and he now has a jaw-dropping .430 average. Of course with only 79 at-bats under his belt, it's easier for his batting average to slide quickly as well.

  1. I've had the pleasure of being around Alex while he's been in Victoria. This kid is a stud, a hard worker and best of all he's humble. He is the REAL package.
