 | Sunday, September 14th, 2008: Johnson Gets 5 Hits
It wasn't just another day at the ballpark for Mike Johnson. It was very special day, one that many players never experience. But he did. Johnson went on a tear at The Thunderdome and cracked hit after hit off Honolulu pitching.
When the dust settled on the diamond, he had a career 5-5 day and something he will long remember. "Yeah, it'll be something nice to tell the grandkids, but I don't think I'll tell we lost," he laughed in the SION postgame interview.
Johnson got the accolades today and the Honolulu Tsunami walked off the field with a 8-7 win.
M. Johnson singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, hit an RBI double in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off A. Phelps in the 9th.
Currently Johnson is batting .353 with 14 home runs and 79 RBIs.

Paul Duncan really sizzled at the plate today. In a game played at Tidal Wave Stadium, the Honolulu center fielder blistered the Bristol Owls for 5 hits in 7 at-bats to pace his club to a 18-0 victory.
"Duncan was too tough to get out today," the Owls skipper said in his postgame interview. "No matter what we threw him, he hit it. And he hit some good pitches, too."
P. Duncan struck out in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off P. Wilson in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off B. Gibson in the 9th.
