Super Swinger -- Stokes Slams 5 Hits Friday, September 12th , 2008 It was a good day for the Empires at Estadio Azteca as they clipped the Mexico City Aztecas, 9-8. It was tremendous day for Johnny Stokes, who was on a hitting barrage at the plate, finishing 5-for-6. "I don't know what to call that," the Southern California second baseman told reporters after his big performance. "I'm not 'dialed in' or 'in a zone,' I just try to keep it simple. Basically the pitcher throws the ball, I try to pick up the spin, then I hit it. Today I picked up the spin pretty well." Johnny Stokes hit a solo-shot off Zeke Music in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, singled in the 7th, grounded out in the 8th and singled in the 10th. Stokes is currently hitting at a .281 pace with 14 home runs, 45 RBIs and has scored 35 times. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
