Ford on Fire: 5-for-6 for Lancaster Monday, August 24th, 1981 It doesn't happen very often, but it did for Byron Ford today -- a 5-hit effort. He went on a rampage at Mafioso Ballpark and paced the Churns to a 14-7 win over the Hazelton Mafioso. After his dynamite batting performance, the Lancaster right fielder told reporters that he "just tried to get in a good count and have a good at-bat. That's all I can control." His philosophy paid dividends today. He slammed 5 hits in 6 tries and put his name in the record book. Byron Ford hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI double in the 6th, hit a two-run triple in the 8th and doubled in the 9th. So far this season Ford has gotten 163 hits in 496 at-bats for a .329 batting average with 25 home runs. His stats include 97 RBIs and 92 runs scored. He has played in 119 games. |
