Brandon 5-for-7 Against Lancers Tuesday, March 30th , 2021 Jesuit High School catcher Xavier Brandon could do no wrong in his team's 14-7 win over the Lancers, as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Lancers skipper Gary Cawthorne said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Brandon agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game. "Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready." Xavier Brandon struck out in the 1st, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 8th, hit an RBI double in the 9th, struck out in the 10th and singled in the 11th. For the season, Brandon is currently batting .410 with 2 home runs and 6 RBIs. In 10 games he has reached base at a .511 rate and scored 10 runs to date. |
