5-Hit Barrage by Burkett Friday, June 24th , 2022 Manhattan third baseman Ken Burkett could do no wrong in his team's 11-8 win over the Oilers, as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Oilers skipper John Whitmyer said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Burkett 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." Ken Burkett hit an RBI double in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Jaime Trujillo in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th. Currently Burkett has 7 home runs and a .324 batting average. View Boxscore |
