Red-Hot Ward Scorches Spikes Tuesday, August 31st, 1982 Magic Valley center fielder Kevin Ward could do no wrong in today's 18-13 win over the Spikes as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Spikes skipper said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Ward 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." Kevin Ward doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, hit a sac fly in the 6th, walked in the 8th and doubled in the 9th. Thus far this year Ward is hitting .287 with 8 home runs, 42 RBIs and 45 runs scored. View Boxscore |
