Jackson on Fire: 5-for-6 for Atlanta (MID) Tuesday, August 10th , 2049 Eric Jackson exploded for a barrage of base hits today at Atlanta Braves Complex. The Atlanta (MID) right fielder had a field day in the 24-1 triumph over the Hartford Yard Goats, finishing 5-for-6. "My hitting philosophy is simple," he said. "I focus on just seeing the ball and I try to get a good pitch." Jackson must have focused at least 5 times and apparently got some good pitches, too, leading to one of his best days ever with the bat. Eric Jackson singled in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Ricky de la Rosa in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, walked in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Zi-cheng Zhou in the 8th. For the season Jackson is currently batting .301 with 16 home runs and 60 RBIs. In 102 games he has reached base at a .412 rate and scored 91 runs to date. |
