 | Jackson Gets 5 Hits Thursday, August 9th, 2012: 5 hits in a game has always been a magic number in baseball. Only a handful of players will do that. Get 5 hits in a game and you get your moment of glory... your 5 minutes of fame... you get your name in the record book. In the Bombers 7-5 win over Montgomery, Stephen Jackson was red-hot today, scorching them for hit after hit at Bomber Ballpark. "To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax. I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I must admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for a 5-hit game. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close." On his big day Jackson delivered 5 hits in 6 at-bats. Stephen Jackson singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Eduardo Muñóz in the 5th, doubled in the 6th, grounded out in the 9th and singled in the 11th. A look at his current stats shows Jackson with a .325 average, 17 home runs, 59 RBIs and 64 runs scored. He has played in 110 games. |   |
