 | Sunday, June 3rd, 1984: 5-Hit Game for Cook
It was a sensational day at the plate for Jared Cook as he led the charge to a 24-11 win over the Patriots.
The Erie right fielder was pure misery for the Lowell pitching staff. He left them shellshocked with 5 hits in 5 at-bats in an explosive display of hitting.
The manager for the Patriots told SION reporters after the game, "Cook put the ball into play. He really hit it hard. When you do that, you've got a pretty good chance to do some damage. And that's what happened. I feel like we threw some pretty good pitches, but he just put some good swings on the ball."
J. Cook singled in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, walked in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, singled in the 7th and walked in the 8th.
