As I’ve mentioned, there were many, many amazing hitting performances last night; however, the choice was still pretty simple. The hitter of the day is Strasburg’s Sky Overton, from Furman, who went 5-5, with 3 runs, an RBI, and a double. Five hits in 5 at-bats so seldom happens that Sky was an easy choice. For the season, he’s hitting 276/394/345 in 87 at-bats, along with a 9/16 BB/K ratio.
