Sledge Sizzles -- Smokes Zips for 5 Hits Sunday, July 16th , 2084 Temecula first baseman D.J. Sledge could do no wrong in his team's 8-2 win over the Zips, as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Zips skipper said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Sledge 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." D.J. Sledge doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Kahuna Okelani in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. So far this year, Sledge is batting .400 with 9 home runs. View Boxscore |
