Hopper Goes 5-for-8
Kannapolis right fielder Brandon Hopper had a fantastic day at the plate at Whitaker Bank Ballpark today, knocking out 5 hits and pacing his club to a 31-1 victory.

"It was like I was hitting Little League pitching," Hopper said after his 5-for-8 performance against the Legends. "No offense meant to Lexington, but it was like I was back in little league again -- I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid park, it was Whitaker Bank Ballpark."

After the game, his manager elaborated on the right fielder's improvements, saying Hopper spent the offseason trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball.

"That's what I'm trying to do," Hopper said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it."

Brandon Hopper hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a GRAND SLAM off Ron Bubar in the 4th, flied out in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and flied out in the 8th.

Batting .344 to date, Hopper has 7 home runs and 31 RBIs.
