Padilla Cracks 5 Hits Wednesday, August 18th, 2032 New Orleans catcher Jonathan Padilla could do no wrong in today's 20-4 win over the Gnats as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Gnats skipper Reese O'Higgins said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Padilla 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." Jonathan Padilla singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, struck out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This year Padilla has socked 76 hits in 258 at-bats for a .295 average with 12 home runs. He is getting on base at a .367 pace and his totals also include 39 RBIs and 43 runs scored.
