So, well, this was a crazy one.
Charlotte’s offense outlasted Jacksonville’s, taking home a 13-11 win in 10 innings. And on the hitting side, the prospect performances were something to be excited about, pointing toward 2023.
Certainly the headline here is, as it has been all week, the offensive outburst of center fielder Oscar Colás — and on Saturday, he hit his first two career Triple-A home runs. After leading off the game with a seeing-eye, bloop double, the white-hot slugger clubbed a two-run, 434-foot blast in the sixth inning, giving Charlotte an 8-7 lead. Two innings later, in Colas’ next at-bat, he smashed a solo shot.
