Muncy Goes on Rampage Against Hops
Thursday, June 1st , 2023
Even as a kid, Max Muncy said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Everett Memorial Stadium today, Muncy showed how well he learned that lesson.

The 20-year-old third baseman had 5 hits in 5 at-bats for the Everett AquaSox, helping his team knock off the Hillsboro Hops by a score of 14-7.

"They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did today."

Max Muncy hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 6th and doubled in the 8th.

So far this season, Muncy has recorded a .372 batting average with 61 hits, 5 home runs, 35 RBIs, 30 runs scored and a .456 OBP.
