Peters Sizzles -- Smokes Cougars for 5 Hits Wednesday, April 1st, 1970 Fans at Swashbucklers Ballpark got to see not only a home-team victory today, but also one of the most impressive feats of hitting of the season. The Jupiter HS Polar Crush outplayed the Gulfport HS Cougars en route to a 18-8 win, but the standout was third baseman Jerry Peters. Peters netted 5 hits in 6 at-bats and finished with a dynamite game line. "Hey, we tried everything we could think of to get him out," Cougars manager said in his postgame comments. "We threw everything but the kitchen sink against him and he hit it. Maybe we should've thrown the sink, too." Jerry Peters singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, struck out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th, walked in the 7th and hit a two-run single in the 8th. View Boxscore |
