Minor League Covenanter on 'Hot-Hitting' List
ALTOONA, PA (September 14, 2004) - Nate McLouth of the Evangelical Covenant
Church of Whitehall has continued his hot hitting in minor league
professional baseball, helping the Altoona Curve to the Eastern League
championship series finals this week.
A fourth year minor league player in the Pittsburgh Pirates
organization, McLouth led his Class AA league in three categories and
placed in the top 10 in four others. He hit .322 during the regular
season, fourth in the league, and led the league with 166 hits and 93
runs scored, along with 40 doubles. His 31 stolen bases were good for
fifth overall and he was eighth in on-base percentage (.384) and tied
for ninth in extra-base hits (52).
Last week he started the playoffs on a positive note too, hitting a
3-run homer and a RBI single in his team's playoff series opening win
against Erie on Thursday. On Friday he contributed two hits and a run
batted in during another Altoona victory. In the final game of the first
round, a 14-4 win, McLouth had two more hits.
