Bluefield's Johnson Goes Ballistic with 5 Hits
Even as a kid, Mike Johnson said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Joe O'Brien Field today, Johnson showed how well he learned that lesson.

The 21-year-old left fielder had 5 hits in 6 at-bats for the Bluefield Blue Jays, helping his team knock off the Elizabethton Twins by a score of 19-6.

"They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did today."

Mike Johnson hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

Johnson is batting .356 with 1 home runs and 19 RBIs this season.
