Here is manager Pat Murphy talking about Hamilton's big night at the plate. Spent through a lot.

He's done a great job starting to understand he's taken ownership. That's the most important

thing he's taken ownership of his game. He understands what we want out of them and he's

tremendous bass runner. Good defender getting better and offensively he can be a force.
