Los Angeles B's Kraus Goes Ballistic with 5 Hits Wednesday, July 1st , 1953 Los Angeles B first baseman Matt Kraus could do no wrong in his team's 6-2 win over the Red Wings, as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Red Wings skipper said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Kraus 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." Matt Kraus hit an RBI single in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th. This season, Kraus is batting .331 with 44 hits, 7 home runs, 28 RBIs, .404 OBP and has scored 27 runs. |
