Johnson Blisters Chicago
Des Moines right fielder Royce Johnson had a big day at Ashland Yards against the Chicago Crows. The 29-year-old, who is not typically considered a big threat with the bat, went 5-for-6 and led to the 10-5 Pioneers triumph over Chicago.

"Hey, I'm as surprised as you guys are," Johnson said in his postgame comments, smiling as he scolded the press corps for underestimating him. "Maybe I'm not so bad at the plate after all."

Royce Johnson doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, tripled in the 6th, grounded out in the 7th and singled in the 9th.
