Super Swinger -- West Slams 5 Hits Sunday, June 2nd, 2019 It was a good day for the Lookouts at Thunderbirds Stadium as they clipped the Phoenix Hotspur Reserves 14-3. It was tremendous day for Chris West, who went on quite a hitting spree with a 5 for 6 barrage. The Thomasville center fielder told reporters after his big 5-hit performance, "I don't have any buzz words. I'm not 'dialed in' or 'in a zone,' as they say. As far as the hitting goes, I try to keep it simple. I try not to look into it too much. Basically the pitcher throws the ball, I try to pick up the spin, then try to hit it. Today I picked up the spin very well." Chris West singled in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit a two-run single in the 7th and singled in the 9th. Presently West is batting .424 with 28 hits and 1 home run. He has knocked in 8 runs and scored 19 times. |
