Volker Goes 5-for-5
Wednesday, July 13th , 2107
Oakland (AZL) catcher Mike Volker could do no wrong in his team's 13-2 win over the White Sox, as he collected 5 hits.
"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," White Sox skipper Noel Clodfelter said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."
Volker 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."
Mike Volker singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and hit a three-run home run off Donald Delo in the 8th.
Volker's current batting average stands at .467 and he has chalked up 2 home runs and 10 RBIs.
