Timmons Strokes 5 Hits
Ozzie Timmons put on a hitting clinic today as the Jacksonville Suns dumped the Asheville Moonshiners 14-8 at Torrance Grounds.

The Jacksonville right fielder made Asheville defenders earn their pay, lashing Asheville pitching for 5 hits in 6 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it."

"Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Timmons said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Ozzie Timmons singled in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Masaki Saito in the 3rd, hit a two-run double in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, hit an RBI double in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th.

Timmons is currently hitting at a .385 pace with 6 home runs, 25 RBIs and has scored 14 times.
