Matt Gorski Named South Atlantic League Player of the Week

Minor League Baseball announced their weekly award winners this afternoon for May 16-22. The Pittsburgh Pirates were represented on that list by outfielder Matt Gorski, who had a huge week that led to his promotion last night to Altoona. He had three multi-homer games, capped off by three home runs on Sunday, which led to all four Greensboro runs. His final swing with the team was a walk-off homer in the ninth. Gorski batted .435/.458/1.522 for the week, with eight homers. He has 17 homers now, which is more than double anyone else in the Pirates system this season.
