Johnston Jacks 3 into the Stands Thursday, July 19th , 2063 Peter Johnston brutalized the Murraysville Peacocks pitching staff, launching three home runs in the 8-4 Silicon Valley victory at Red Bull Stadium. The Silicon Valley Hackers third baseman was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day. "I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one." For the game, he went 3-for-4 with 6 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "Too much Peter Johnston today," Peacocks manager Joseph Kelley said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to." Peter Johnston hit a two-run home run off Mike Lanham in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Mike Lanham in the 3rd, struck out in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off Freddy Hernandez in the 7th and walked in the 9th. For the season, Johnston is batting .266 with 69 hits and 14 home runs. He has scored 50 times and batted in 50. |
