May 20, 200817 yr http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/news/ar...b&fext=.jsp Carolina League - Brandon Allen, Winston-Salem .423 (11-26), 7 R, 5 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, 7 RBI, 2 BB, 2 SO, 2 SB, .808 SLG Allen was already having a big week and a bigger game when he came to the plate in the bottom of the ninth Wednesday against Lynchburg. The first baseman was 4-for-4 with a homer and two doubles, lacking only the elusive triple for a cycle. Allen then ripped a changeup into the right-center field gap and legged out his second three-bagger of the season to complete the rare hitting feat in a 12-11 loss. It wasn't the only damage Allen did in the series against Lynchburg, as he had nine hits in the first three games to go along with six RBIs. The lefty's monster game, though, was emblematic of his versatility at the plate, as he leads the league in extra-base hits.
