Pope goes 3-for-4 to Light Rays Fuse
The Princeton Rays beat the Bluefield Blue Jays, 14-5, with major props going to designated hitter Jeff Pope. On the day, Pope went 3-4 with a home run, a triple, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4 for the Rays. The triumph puts Princeton at 16-9 for the season.

With Princeton leading 2-0 in the top of the fourth, Pope hit a changeup from Dorian Abbott for a 3-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Rays ahead, 5-0.

Pope said, "Whether you hit the ball hard, you walk, you have a long at-bat, 10 or 12 pitches, or you hit a homer, you're just trying to do anything you can do to help the team win."
