Red-Hot McCarthy Scorches Scots Monday, April 6th, 1970 Bloomington HS center fielder Justin McCarthy could do no wrong in today's 20-7 win over the Scots as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Scots skipper said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." McCarthy 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." Justin McCarthy hit an RBI single in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a two-run triple in the 4th, grounded out in the 5th, hit a two-run single in the 6th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.
