Wood Goes on Rampage Against Whitehawks Thursday, June 11th , 1953 J.P. Wood put on a hitting clinic at Shockers Park, spraying hits all over the ballpark and lashing Lisbon C pitchers for 5 hits in 5 at-bats. However, the offensive onslaught wasn't enough for the Paris C Shockers, who still fell, 7-4. "Sometimes I try to pull the ball too much, so today I just went with the pitch," Wood told reporters after the game. "It's great to get 5 hits, but it would have been nicer to win the ballgame. too." J.P. Wood singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Jean-Louis Monnier in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This season in 24 games, Wood is batting .293 with 1 home run, 8 RBIs and has scored 11 times. |
