Great Stroke: Wilson Gets 5 Hits
Monday, May 9th , 2061
Hickory third baseman Loren Wilson could do no wrong in his team's 14-1 win over the Fireflies, as he collected 5 hits.
"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Fireflies skipper Gunner Litherland said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."
Wilson 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."
Loren Wilson singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 5th and singled in the 7th.
Looking at his season stats, Wilson has compiled a .280 batting average and a .357 on-base percentage, while hitting 2 home runs and driving in 7 runs.
