Former McNeese State all-conference outfielder Charlie Kingrey has been called up to the Palm Beach (FL) Cardinal baseball team by the St. Louis Cardinals.

Kingrey, who was twice a MVP during his career with the Cowboys, joins the team that also features former Cowboy all-conference infielder Bryan Cartie. Palm Beach is a high Class A team.

Kingrey was called up from the Quad City River Bandits of the Class A Midwest League where he was batting .289 with six home runs, 18 doubles and four stolen bases. He had a .355 on base percentage and a .442 slugging percentage while scoring 33 runs and knocking in 40 runs.

He was also batting .395 against left handed pitching and was a starter in the outfield in the Midwest League all-star game where he went two for three with a single, a triple, a run scored and a RBI.

During a four year career at McNeese, Kingrey set a school career record for base hits (244) while hitting 35 home runs and driving in 170 runs.
