Hampton Socks It to Express, Cracks 5 Hits Tuesday, June 13th , 2051 Marcos Hampton put on a hitting clinic today as the Tacoma Rainiers dumped the Round Rock Express 13-1 at Dell Diamond. The Tacoma right fielder made Round Rock defenders earn their pay, lashing Round Rock pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Hampton said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Marcos Hampton singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, walked in the 7th, singled in the 8th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Jason Ramsey in the 9th. In this current campaign Hampton is hitting at a .341 clip with 5 home runs and 25 RBIs. View Boxscore |
