Nashville Sounds Baseball
Slugger’s Hot Hitting Earns League Award
Nashville, TN – Nashville Sounds infielder Matt Clark has been named the Pacific Coast League’s Batter of the Week for the August 18th-24th period.
The red-hot 27-year-old posted a .536 average (15-for-28), recording multiple hits in each of last week’s contests, with three home runs and nine RBIs in seven games over the stretch.
The 14-game hit streak, during which the California-native is batting .482 (27-for-56), is the 2nd-longest by a Sounds player this season.
In the month of August, Clark leads the Sounds with nine home runs, 32 hits, 20 RBIs, 21 runs and 13 multi-hit games.
Overall, Clark is batting .333 (55-for-165) with 13 home runs and 33 RBIs in 45 games since joining the team on July 4th.
Clark’s award is the second accumulated by a Sounds player during the 2014 season (also Mike Fiers, April 28th-May 5th) and the first PCL honor given to a Nashville batter since Caleb Gindl in 2012 (August 20th-27th period).
The award is the fourth weekly honor of Clark’s seven-year career. He was previously honored three times by the Texas League in 2010.
