5-Hit Barrage by Elias Saturday, August 27th , 2050 A jubilant Johnny Elias joined the postgame press conference at Alligators Stadium to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Jacksonville Alligators pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the California Kooks center fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led to the 10-7 Kooks win. "He made it look easy," said Todd Ward, manager of the Alligators. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Johnny Elias singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Octávio Vermuis in the 6th, singled in the 7th and walked in the 9th. So far this year, Elias is batting .340 with 7 home runs. View Boxscore |
