Atwood Sizzles -- Smokes Drummers for 5 Hits
It was a sensational day at the plate for Jim Atwood as he led the charge to a nifty 16-15 win over the Drummers. The Houston first baseman was pure misery for the Waco pitching staff. He left them shell-shocked with 5 hits in 7 at-bats in an explosive display of hitting.

"Atwood put the ball into play and he really hit it hard," said , manager for the Drummers, after the game. "When you do that, you've got a good chance to do some damage. And that's what happened. I feel like we threw some good pitches, but he just put some good swings on the ball."

Jim Atwood hit a three-run home run off Will Chamberlin in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, flied out in the 4th, struck out in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th, doubled in the 9th, singled in the 10th and grounded out in the 12th.

Currently Atwood is batting .270 with 60 hits and 2 home runs. He has knocked in 45 runs and scored 34 times.
