Will Smith hits first professional home run in Ogden win

A short night on the farm still saw standout performances from young prospects Will smith and Imani Abdullah

Player of the day

Will Smith hit his first professional home run as part of his best night thus far as a Dodger prospect, going three for four.  After being held hitless in his professional debut, Smith has a hit in each of his next five games, with two multi-hit games in his last three starts.  Smith started at DH Wednesday, but has seen time at catcher and second base in just six starts with Ogden.
