Wages Strokes 5 Hits
Even as a kid, Greg Wages said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Ensigns Ballpark, Wages showed how well he learned that lesson.

The 24-year-old second baseman had 5 hits in 6 at-bats for the New York N (GCL) Mets, helping his team knock off the Washington (GCL) Nationals by a score of 17-4.

"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."

Greg Wages doubled in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Jorge Cruz in the 4th, singled in the 5th, flied out in the 5th, hit a two-run double in the 6th and doubled in the 8th.

In this current campaign Wages is hitting at a .279 clip with 2 home runs and 14 RBIs.
