Metairie, LA - The Pacific Coast League announced today that Zephyrs left fielder Chip Ambres was awarded the PCL Batter of the Week award after racking up 17 hits in six contests with a .586 batting average and three homers.
Ambres' highlight performance came on June 7th, when he went 5-for-5 with a double and two home runs with four RBI. During his award-winning run, the Beaumont, Texas native scored 14 runs and tallied 10 RBI while extending his hit-streak to eight games and raising his season batting average from .267 to .310. Ambres was a first-round selection in the 1998 draft by the Florida Marlins, and is in his first season with the New York Mets organization.
