Hopkins Bashes 5 Base Hits Sunday, May 14th, 2028 Auburn shortstop Wilbert Hopkins could do no wrong in today's 14-4 win over the Crimson Tide as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Crimson Tide skipper Gene Beatty said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Hopkins 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." Wilbert Hopkins tripled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, struck out in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit a two-run single in the 8th. So far this season Hopkins is batting .750 with 1 home run. View Boxscore View Game Log |
