RH: Third Baseman Jayson Jones Leads Power Surge At Eck
Jayson Jones By Paul Suellentrop
Jayson Jones loved much about Wichita State's opening weekend, especially all the foul balls MJ Sweeney hit in the fourth inning on Saturday.
"Man, a (12)-pitch at-bat," Jones said. "He hit a pull-side nuke, hit another foul ball nuke and he stayed the same, had his approach, kept it simple and hit a home run at the end of it. It was something that gives you chills as a baseball lover."
The Shockers (4-0) hit eight home runs in sweeping four games from overmatched Northern Colorado – four by Jones. WSU outscored the Bears (0-4) 43-8 at Eck Stadium by hitting .355 with 16 extra-base hits, seven steals and 26 walks.
