The 21-year-old outfielder of the Class A Lynchburg Hillcats hit .533 (8-for-15) with two home runs, six RBI, seven runs scored, one stolen base and a slugging percentage of .933 for the week.
“To be rewarded for having a pretty good week, it’s cool,” says Romak, “especially with the amount of Canadians that are playing and how well everyone is doing (this season).”
Against division rival Frederick, the former Junior National Team member went 3-for-4 in two consecutive games, hitting two homers, driving in five runs and scoring four times in that span.
“Going into the series, they were trying to pitch me in,” says Romak. “I backed off the plate about an inch or two and it seemed to make all the difference in the world.”
Romak is hitting .279 with 15 home runs, 39 RBI and a slugging percentage of .533 this season.
