5-for-5 Day for Branham Tuesday, August 3rd , 1915 Saint Louis left fielder John Branham could do no wrong in his team's 8-7 win over the Nickajacks, as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Nickajacks skipper John Johnson said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Branham agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game. "Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready." John Branham singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, tripled in the 6th, walked in the 8th, hit an RBI single in the 9th and hit an RBI single in the 11th. Branham is currently batting .280 with no home runs, 9 RBIs and 5 runs scored. He has 14 hits in 50 at-bats. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
