Johnson Raps 3 Homers Against River Otters
Wednesday, July 4th , 2063
Indianapolis Twins bombardier Jerry Johnson set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence as his club took a 20-1 win over the Bethlehem River Otters today.
"I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one," Johnson told writers in the postgame press room. "I was ahead in the count, so I gambled that I'd get a certain pitch, and got all of it."
For the game, the Indianapolis second baseman had 4 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 9, and scored 4 runs.
Jerry Johnson hit an RBI single in the 1st, walked in a run in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Nate Munguia in the 4th, hit a three-run home run off Craig Burrows in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Daniel Claudio in the 7th and flied out in the 8th.
Looking at his present stats, Johnson has compiled a .283 batting average in 66 games with a .364 on-base percentage, while hitting 17 home runs and driving in 45 runs.
