5 Hits for Steers Watkins Tuesday, September 1st , 2054 It was a sensational day at the plate for Troy Watkins as he led the charge to a nifty 10-6 win over the Wave. The Dallas first baseman was pure misery for the Maui pitching staff. He left them shell-shocked with 5 hits in 7 at-bats in an explosive display of hitting. "Watkins put the ball into play and he really hit it hard," said José Betancourt, manager for the Wave, after the game. "When you do that, you've got a good chance to do some damage. And that's what happened. I feel like we threw some good pitches, but he just put some good swings on the ball." Troy Watkins hit a solo-shot off Wilbur Miles in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, hit a two-run single in the 6th, grounded out in the 7th, singled in the 10th, singled in the 12th and grounded out in the 14th. In 89 games this season, Watkins has compiled a .300 batting average with 100 hits and 9 home runs. He has also scored 33 times and knocked in 43 runs. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
