Former Fresno State third baseman Casey McGehee continued his hot hitting this spring, belting a walk-off two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Seattle Mariners 9-7 Monday. It was McGehee’s sixth homer of the spring, tying Corey Hart for the team lead. That doesn’t include McGehee’s grand slam against the Australian National Team, which did not count towards spring training statistics.

McGehee is second on the team in RBI with 15, trailing first baseman Prince Fielder. Casey is batting .370 (20-54).

The Brewers wrap-up the spring season Saturday against the Dodgers. If McGehee makes the big league club, he will be in San Francisco when the Brewers take on the Giants in the season opener Tuesday, April 7.

McGehee told me today he has no idea if he’s going to make the big league club, nor does he know what his batting average is. “Don’t tell me,” he said. “I don’t want to jinx anything.”
