 | Carlton on Fire, 5-5 Against Chicago Friday, June 15th, 2012: It was a sensational day at the plate for Eric Carlton, but a letdown as well as the Mustangs dropped the game 8-5 to the Titans. Nonetheless the Billings right fielder was pure misery for the Chicago pitching staff. He left them shellshocked with 5 hits in 5 at-bats in an explosive display of hitting. "It's always good to get a bunch of hits in a game, but you also want to win. That's the important thing," Carlton said. The manager of the Titans told BNN reporters after the game, "Carlton put the ball into play. He really hit it hard. When you do that, you've got a pretty good chance to do some damage. And that's what happened. I feel like we threw him some pretty good pitches, but he just put some good swings on the ball." Eric Carlton singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, doubled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This year Carlton is batting .269 with 8 home runs. |   |
