5-for-5 Game for Gordon Sunday, August 14th , 2022 A jubilant Joe Gordon joined the postgame press conference at PBC Rookie Development Complex to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Tampa Bay (R) Thunder pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Philadelphia (R) Keystones third baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led to the 7-3 Keystones win. "He made it look easy," said Brandon Land, manager of the Thunder. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Joe Gordon hit a solo-shot off Rafael Dawang in the 2nd, doubled in the 5th, doubled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and tripled in the 9th. Looking at his season stats, Gordon has compiled a .271 batting average and a .368 on-base percentage, while hitting 4 home runs and driving in 12 runs. View Boxscore |
