5-Hit Game for Dawson
Thursday, April 18th , 2024
Bo Dawson exploded for a barrage of base hits at TicketReturn.com Field at Pelicans Ballpark.

The Salem second baseman had a field day in his team's 11-6 triumph over the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, finishing 5-for-5.

"My hitting philosophy is simple," he said. "I focus on just seeing the ball and I try to get a good pitch."

Dawson must have focused at least 5 times and apparently got some good pitches, too, leading to one of his best days ever with the bat. Bo Dawson singled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th and hit a three-run home run off Kevin LeBlanc in the 8th.

This season, Dawson has hit 1 home run and posted a .364 batting average.
