This week's Player of the Week was Sean Burroughs of the Akron Sturgeons.

 | Tuesday, July 24th, 2007: Watkins Slaps 5 Hits
It doesn't happen very often, but it happened for Tommy Watkins -- a 5-hit day. He went on a rampage at Lunatics Ballpark and paced the Lunatics to a 25-4 win over the Akron Sturgeons.
After his dynamite batting performance the Aurora third baseman told the press, "I just tried to get myself in a good count and have a good at-bat. That's all I can control." His philosophy paid some great dividends today. He slammed 5 hits in 6 tries and put his name in the record book.
T. Watkins walked in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 6th, grounded out in the 7th and hit a GRAND SLAM off J. Unknown in the 8th.
This season Watkins has hit at a .294 clip with 42 RBIs, 6 home runs and 67 runs scored. |
