Hampton on Fire: 5-for-6 for Las Vegas: It was a good day for the Aviators at Cashman Field as they clipped the Albuquerque Isotopes, 18-7. It was tremendous day for Maurice Hampton, who was on a hitting barrage at the plate, finishing 5-for-6.
"I don't know what to call that," the Las Vegas center fielder told reporters after his big performance. "I'm not 'dialed in' or 'in a zone,' I just try to keep it simple. Basically the pitcher throws the ball, I try to pick up the spin, then I hit it. Today I picked up the spin pretty well." Maurice Hampton singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, flied out in the 4th, hit a two-run triple in the 5th, hit a two-run single in the 6th and singled in the 8th. In his season totals Hampton has 2 home runs and a .298 batting average. View Boxscore |
