Willimas Has Hot Hand, Bangs 5 hits Thursday, May 14th, 1970 In a career performance, Peoria HS Players shortstop Jaden Willimas sparkled with the bat today at El Paso HS Grounds. Powering his way to a 5-for-6 line at the plate, Willimas led the Players to a 20-7 win over the Bloomington HS Emperors. Willimas was in high spirits in the clubhouse after the game, joking with reporters that the big game had left him "winded." "Oh sure, 5 hits sounds great but think about how much more baserunning you have to do," he said with a smile. "Next time, I'm just going to take 5 walks." Jaden Willimas doubled in the 2nd, grounded out in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit a three-run home run off Tim Goodrich in the 5th, hit an RBI triple in the 6th and singled in the 7th. This year Willimas has socked 54 hits in 148 at-bats for a .365 average with 6 home runs. He is getting on base at a .481 pace and his totals also include 35 RBIs and 42 runs scored. View Boxscore |
