Red-Hot King Scorches Generals
Tuesday, September 1st , 2026
The Johnson City Eagles stopped the Jackson Generals by a score of 13-4 at Johnson City Grounds, with the lion's share of the credit going to catcher Will King. The 22-year-old had a career day, collecting 5 hits.
"Every batter wants to have a quality at-bat every time he steps up to the plate," King said later. "He wants to hit the ball hard."
King did just that in his 5 at-bats, much to the chagrin of the Generals.
"Not much that I can say," offered Jackson manager . "He just hammered the heck out of us."
Will King singled in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Cayman Goode in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Chase Allsup in the 7th and hit an RBI double in the 8th.
This year, King is hitting .357, produced 15 RBIs and 4 home runs, scored 15 times and gotten on base at a .486 rate.
