James Triantos, 2B, Cubs – Triantos went 4 for 6 with three RBIs and a run scored in Mesa’s 10-8 win over Surprise. The 20-year-old infielder drove in the game-tying run with a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the ninth inning to put a capper on another banner day this fall. Triantos is now batting .455 with a 1.359 OPS in the AFL through nine games.
Robert Hassell III, OF, Nationals – Hassell went 2 for 3 with a double, a home run, two RBIs and two runs scored in Scottsdale’s loss to Salt River.
