McFarland Goes 5-for-6
Bobby McFarland put on a hitting clinic as the Jacksonville Nationals dumped the Picture Rocks Raptors, 24-7, at Ballpark of Picture Rocks.

The Jacksonville second baseman made Picture Rocks defenders earn their pay, lashing Picture Rocks pitching for 5 hits in 6 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it."

"Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," McFarland said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Bobby McFarland hit a two-run double in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, walked in the 8th and hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 9th.

This season, McFarland is hitting at a .488 pace with 13 home runs, 46 RBIs and has scored 37 times.
