Taylor keyed comebacks in both the Saturday and Sunday games against A-10 foe Saint Louis. He drove in at least two runs in each game. He hit two home runs Saturday as Charlotte came from four down by scoring four runs in the eighth, driving in three in the 10-9 10-inning win. Sunday, Taylor hit his third homer of the weekend on Sunday as part of a back-to-back homer tandem with teammate Brad McElroy to break open a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning. In the eighth inning, Taylor knocked in a run with a double and later scored in a six-run inning in the 9-1 win. For the week, Taylor was 6-for-10, with two doubles and three homers, driving in seven. He slugged 1.700 for the week and drew three walks as Charlotte won all three games.
