Walker on Fire, 5-for-6 Against Vancouver Wednesday, August 27th , 2059 Ted Walker put on a hitting clinic today as the Aberdeen Ironbirds dumped the Vancouver Mounties 11-9 at The Corral. The Aberdeen catcher made Vancouver defenders earn their pay, lashing Vancouver pitching for 5 hits in 6 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Walker said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Ted Walker singled in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Jackson Mendoza in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off John Banks in the 6th, struck out in the 9th, walked in the 11th and singled in the 13th. Walker has a .332 average and a .413 on-base percentage for the year. He has picked up 72 hits, 12 home runs and driven in 38 runs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
