5-Hit Barrage by Townsend Tuesday, July 23rd, 2019 It wasn't just another day at the ballpark for John Townsend. It was a very special day, one that many players never experience. But he did. Townsend went on a tear and cracked hit after hit off Nortonville pitching. When the dust settled on the diamond at Ricochets Ballpark, he had a career 5-5 day and something he will long remember. And the Salem Misfits had a 5-4 victory over the Cherokees. "Yeah, it'll be something nice to tell the grandkids, but it won't get me a hit tomorrow," he joked in the postgame interview. John Townsend doubled in the 1st, hit a two-run double in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 8th. This year Townsend has hit at a .217 clip with 8 RBIs, 1 home run and 7 runs scored. |
