stands true to Bristol Blues infielder Max Goione as he has turned it around both offensively and defensively for the Blues this season. In his first six games with the Blues, Goione was batting .150 with no homers and one RBI. Since June 13, Goione is batting .257 with one home run and three RBIs, raising his batting average to .218.
