The Tampa Bay Rays system is so good that even their unranked prospects are putting up absurd performances.
Alexander Ovalles -- playing in his first full season of pro ball -- crushed three home runs, notched five hits and drove in a career-best 10 runs to spark Low-A Charleston's 19-6 drubbing of Columbia at Segra Park on Saturday night.
The 20-year-old put a charge into a 1-1 offering from Adrian Alcantara in the second inning for a two-run jack to left-center that gave the RiverDogs the lead for good. The roundtripper was the first of the season for Ovalles, who doubled his total in the next inning when he took Alcantara deep again -- this one a three-run shot. The tater knocked the Fireflies starter out of the game.
