@VirginiaYankee1: “George Lombard Jr. with his best hitting day since the promotion, 3/5 with 3 R, 2 RBIs, a BB, a K, a 2B, and his 4th SB at AAA (8th overall). The 2B was his first XBH since the elevation”
@whiling15: “George #Lombard Jr. is finally starting to hit in AAA! That is back to back multi hit games including his first extra base hit in AAA. He also had his first 3 hit game tonight. It has always taken him time to adjust each level outside of A-ball.”
@cai_rogers7: “George Lombard Jr. smacks his first XBH since joining AAA, a smoked opposite field double!! 101.6 mph off the bat Also marks his first 3-hit effort since the promotion”
@YankeeSource: “George Lombard Jr. drew and 8 pitch walk and Yanquiel Fernandez followed with a 2 run home run.”
SWB RailRiders: “George Lombard Jr. (Yankees #1 prospect) starts the series in Lehigh Valley by going 3-for-5 with a double, 2 RBI, and a walk.”
@NYY_Prospects: “SWB wins 15-4. Two home runs by Yanquiel Fernandez. Oswaldo Cabrera and Seth Brown also went deep. Lombard goes 3-5 with two RBI and his first Triple-A XBH. Brendan Beck gets chased after four, but Yerry De Los Santos and Zach Messinger pitched well in relief.”
