Yossarian 5-for-5 Against Mercer Island Wednesday, May 9th, 2040 A jubilant John Yossarian joined the postgame press conference at Mercer Island Grounds today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Mercer Island Screaming Eagles pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Olympia Ogres center fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led the Ogres to a 11-9 win. "He made it look easy," said Justin Saginov, manager of the Screaming Eagles. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." John Yossarian singled in the 1st, walked in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, tripled in the 7th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th. In 8 games this season Yossarian is batting .207 with 6 hits and no home runs. He has scored 3 runs and driven in 2. View Boxscore View Game Log |
