5-Hit Game for Jones
Monday, April 15th, 2019
New Orleans first baseman Taylor Jones could do no wrong in today's 23-1 win over the River Cats as he collected 5 hits.
"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," River Cats skipper said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."
Jones 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."
Taylor Jones singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, flied out in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.
