Moore continues to hammer the baseball during his brief time in the minor leagues, jumping almost immediately from low-A ball up to double-A.  Since that jump?  He’s continued his red-hot tear, and that culminated with a memorable moment on Wednesday night in Madison, Alabama for the Rocket City Trash Pandas. The walk off blast put Moore at 6 hits in 13 double A…
