6-Hit Game for Mejorado
Saturday, October 8th , 2050
University of Southern California right fielder Tom Mejorado could do no wrong in today's 24-0 win over the Crimson Tide as he collected 6 hits.
"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Crimson Tide skipper Conor Kerins said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."
Mejorado 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."
Tom Mejorado singled in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Kirk James in the 2nd, hit a two-run single in the 2nd, hit a two-run single in the 3rd, hit a two-run double in the 5th, grounded out in the 6th and singled in the 9th.
This season Mejorado has hit at a .292 clip and produced 22 RBI, 5 home runs and 24 runs.
