Stephen 5-for-5 for Fightin Phils
Sunday, September 6th, 2020
It doesn't happen very often, but it did for Josh Stephen today -- a 5-hit effort. He went on a rampage at Arm & Hammer Park and paced the Fightin Phils to a 29-9 win over the Trenton Thunder.

After his dynamite batting performance, the Reading left fielder told reporters that he "just tried to get in a good count and have a good at-bat. That's all I can control."

His philosophy paid dividends today. He slammed 5 hits in 5 tries and put his name in the record book. Josh Stephen hit a three-run home run off Luis Cessa in the 2nd, walked in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 4th, hit a two-run single in the 5th, walked in the 6th, doubled in the 8th, hit an RBI single in the 9th and walked in a run in the 9th.

So far this season Stephen has hit .298 with 12 home runs, 86 RBIs and scored 58 times.
