TULSA — Kendall George hit a walk-off RBI single in the ninth inning, securing a 4-3 victory for Double-A Tulsa over the Springfield Cardinals on Tuesday, July 7, 2026. George, an outfielder and the Los Angeles Dodgers' No. 13 prospect, reached base in all five of his plate appearances.
George finished the game 4-for-4 with a walk. He singled in his first at-bat and tripled in the third inning before scoring. He recorded another base hit in the sixth inning.
The game was tied entering the bottom of the ninth inning. The first two Tulsa hitters reached base, and a sacrifice bunt moved two runners into scoring position. George then lined a base hit into center field, which allowed the winning run to score.
This performance marked George's second four-hit game of the 2026 season and his second career walk-off hit within the Dodgers' farm system. The 21-year-old had recently returned to Double-A Tulsa after completing a rehab assignment with Single-A Ontario. He suffered a patellar tendon injury in late May 2026 while attempting to avoid a collision with Tulsa's bat dog.
George maintained a batting average of .344, an on-base percentage of .429, and a slugging percentage of .415. He had stolen 27 bases and scored 53 runs in 45 games.
Why It Matters
Kendall George's walk-off hit contributed to a win for Double-A Tulsa and demonstrated his offensive capabilities after returning from injury. His consistent hitting, including his second four-hit game of the season, and his ability to reach base multiple times in a game highlight his impact as a prospect within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. The outfielder's return from a patellar tendon injury also shows his recovery and continued performance at the Double-A level. His statistics, including a .344 batting average and 27 stolen bases, position him as a notable player to follow in the Dodgers' farm system.
