Brewers Prospect Brice Turang Ties Nashville Single Game Hit Record

The 2022 season has not been off to a great start for the Brewers number 4 propsect Brice Turang. The shortstop came into Friday night hitting .220 with just 4 RBI through the teams first 12 games. Fortunately for the rising star, all that changed in Nashville last night.

Turang tied the Nashville Sounds single game hit record by recording 5 hits in 5 at bats en route to a 12-2 win over Charlotte. Turang complemented the 5 hits with three RBI, 2 runs scored and 2 doubles.

Turang led off his great night with a single and the first and another in the third. Then came and RBI double in the fourth and a run scoring single in the fifth. Turang capped the night with a double in the seventh. Turang became just the eigth player in the Sounds 44 year history. The last player to achieve this accomplishment was Mark Canha in 2017. Canha has carved out his own role in the MLB with the Mets and Athletics.

While still early in the season, Turang saw his batting average jump to .291 following the game. Turang has driven in 7 runs through 13 games as well. Turang, still working on developing power, has been putting emphasis on hitting line drives and hitting to all parts of the park. Friday evening showed just that. The lefty’s final hit of the night was a double off the left field wall.
