Great Day for McLaughlin -- 5 Hits Sunday, August 7th , 2061 Even as a kid, Justin McLaughlin said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Ballpark of Caracas, McLaughlin showed how well he learned that lesson. The 24-year-old second baseman had 5 hits in 5 at-bats for the Saint Johns Water Wolves, helping his team knock off the Caracas Sting by a score of 5-3. "They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did." Justin McLaughlin singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Allahditta Wur in the 7th and singled in the 8th. Thus far this year, McLaughlin is hitting .323 with 4 home runs, 26 RBIs and 24 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log |
