Prospect Donald Shines in AFL
Phillies prospect Jason Donald helped to fuel an incredible run scoring outburst in an Arizona Fall League game earlier this week.
The Mesa Solar Sox knocked out the Surprise Rafters 28-1. The Solar Sox collected the 28 runs on 24 hits with the help of 8 Rafters errors.
Donald, a top infield prospect in the Phillies organization, went 4-7 with a homerun, a double, four RBIs and four runs scored.
The outburst raised his average to .417 through 12 games played.
Donald is on fire through the first 12 games of the AFL season. He has 8 RBIs, two triples, four doubles, 12 runs scored and 15 hits.
Donald was an Eastern League All-Star in 2008 with Double-A Reading and played on the 2008 Futures Game USA Team at Yankee Stadium.
He hit .307 with 14 homers, 19 doubles and 54 RBIs in 92 games.
His teammate from the same AFL squad, Phillies outfielder Jeremy Slayden, went 3 for 7 with 3 runs scored and 2 RBIs. He raised his average to .314 and his league leading RBI total to 13.
