Timmons Belts 5 Hits
Friday, June 6th, 1997
A jubilant Ozzie Timmons joined the postgame press conference at Ballpark of Fremont today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Brooklyn Cyclones pitching staff he had just vanquished.
"It may not have looked like it," said the Jacksonville Suns right fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."
That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led the Suns to a 19-9 win.
"He made it look easy," said , manager of the Cyclones. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."
Ozzie Timmons hit a solo-shot off Matt Perisho in the 1st, struck out in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Tim Belk in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
So far this year in 59 games Timmons is hitting .297 with 12 home runs, 59 RBIs and 51 runs scored.
