“After nearly a month of pure dominance, Jake Cave was recognized as International Player of the Week May 22-28). Cave is the second consecutive IronPig to earn the weekly honor, following infielder Drew Ellis who was honored for the week of May 15-21. Cave put together yet another superb week, playing in all six games against the Buffalo Bisons he went 9-for-19 (.474) with a .630 on-base percentage and 1.211 slugging percentage, good for a 1.840 OPS. Cave totaled five doubles and three homers, driving in seven runs while scoring 11 times and walking seven times while striking out just four times. Since his first game on May 4 with the IronPigs, Cave has a hit in every game he's played (21G, three shy of tying the franchise record held by Nick Williams) and leads the International League (or is top-5) in nearly every offensive category.” - from Media notes supplied by Sam Jellinek - Iron Pigs Manager of Broadcasting and Media Relations
