Jones

Was one of the leaders in an impressive offensive Game 3 showing for Chelsea. With two outs in the 1st inning and already leading 1-0, Jones quickly found himself down 0-2 to start his at-bat, but Jones took a pitch on the outer-part of the plate and sent it down the right field line for a two-RBI triple to push the lead to 3-0. Athletic skill set at 5-11, 170-pounds with loose hands and a line drive approach at the plate. Defended well throughout the series for the Hornets at 2nd base as well.
