 | Schaefer Torches Speedsters for 5 Hits Tuesday, April 2nd , 2041 Santa Ana HS first baseman Jon Schaefer could do no wrong in his team's 8-7 win over the Speedsters, as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Speedsters skipper said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Schaefer 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." Jon Schaefer singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Cortez Romero in the 5th, singled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Jon Dufault in the 8th. So far this year, Schaefer is batting .458 with 15 home runs, 37 RBIs and 30 runs scored. |   |
