| Breaking News |  | Friday, June 15th, 2001: Jeter 5-5 for Kansas City
Kansas City third baseman Derek Jeter could do no wrong in today's 8-3 win over the White Sox as he collected 5 hits.
"In every one of his at-bats things were in his favor... he got hitter's counts," the skipper of the White Sox said to the press corps after the game.
Jeter agreed. "The key is getting ahead. Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit. You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."
D. Jeter singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th and singled in the 8th.
Jeter is presently hitting at a .308 pace with 6 home runs, 18 RBIs and has scored 29 times. |
