Adell collects three more hits for 66ers

It took Jo Adell more than two weeks to get his first three-hit game in the California League. Now he's binging on them.
MLB.com's No. 53 overall prospect notched his third three-hit game in the last six days, homering and adding a pair of singles, as Class A Advanced Inland Empire fell to visiting Lancaster, 4-3, on Wednesday at San Manuel Stadium.

Adell kicked off another big night at the plate with a solo homer to left-center in the bottom of the first inning. The blast, his sixth with the 66ers, was his second in three games and third during his torrid week.
Two innings later, the Angels' No. 2 prospect followed a two-out triple to right by fourth-ranked Brandon Marsh with an RBI single to left and scored one batter later on Jack Kruger's double to center.
