Great Stroke: Noel Gets 5 Hits Sunday, July 9th , 2023 Even as a kid, Jhonkensy Noel said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At FNB Field today, Noel showed how well he learned that lesson. The 21-year-old first baseman had 5 hits in 6 at-bats for the Midland RockHounds, helping his team knock off the Harrisburg Senators by a score of 13-6. "They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did today." Jhonkensy Noel flied out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Anthony Castro in the 7th and singled in the 9th. In 75 games this season Noel has compiled a .262 batting average with 80 hits and 16 home runs. He has also scored 46 times and knocked in 56 runs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
