| Thursday, April 23rd, 2009: Columbia's Joo Goes Ballistic with 5 Hits
If just anyone could go out and hit a baseball, big dollar contracts wouldn't exist. But they can't, so the good hitters get the big bucks. Shi-ping Joo showed how it's done as he went 5 for 6 against the Cary Grants and helped the Columbia Helos beat them 16-6.
The manager for the Grants told the BNN sportswriters, "We made some bad pitches and he took advantage of it. That's the game of baseball. Don't make mistakes and you win a lot more ballgames."
If Joo keeps hitting like this, he could be headed for a big pay raise.
S. Joo doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 7th, flied out in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off C. Cochran in the 9th.
