The ball landed in a pool beyond the right field wall.
It was the 10th minor league game on Hamilton’s rehab assignment, and in four games with Double-A Frisco he has hit a robust .563 (9-for-16).
Hamilton will move up to Triple-A Round Rock next and play through the weekend, and per Even Grant of the Dallas Morning News, could be back with the Rangers as early as next week.
