Koperniak Homers Twice in Triple-A Team's Win

By Alex Coilmilb.com
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The Memphis Redbirds continued a six-game homestand with an 11-3 win over the Nashville Sounds (Triple-A, Milwaukee Brewers) on Saturday night at AutoZone Park.
 
Center fielder Matt Koperniak thrived out of the leadoff spot for Memphis in the win.
 
The left-handed hitter smacked two three-run homers in consecutive plate appearances and finished the night 3-for-5 with two runs scored, two home runs and six runs batted in. The game was the Hoosac Valley High School graduate's first multi-homer game of the season and a new season high for RBIs in a single game.
 
One batter after Koperniak’s home run in the sixth inning, right fielder Jordan Walker clubbed his first home run at Triple-A this season. Shortstop Arquimedes Gamboa posted his best game as a Redbird with a 2-for-3 4 RBI performance.
 
For the season, Koperniak is second on the Redbirds with a .302 batting average. He also has a .473 slugging percentage with six homers and 11 doubles.
 
Memphis, the Triple-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals, currently is in third place in the International League West.
