5-Hit Barrage by Stewart Monday, August 13th , 2001 Hudson Valley left fielder Shannon Stewart could do no wrong in his team's 11-0 win over the Herons, as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Herons skipper said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Stewart 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." Shannon Stewart singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, grounded out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th. So far this season, Stewart has 14 home runs and a .358 batting average. |
