Wilson Booms 500th Homer:
It was a great day for John Wilson, but not a good one for his Sacramento State Hornets. The 30-year-old right fielder reached a personal milestone with his 500th career homer, but it wasn't enough to beat the Kentucky Wildcats, who came away with a 7-4 victory. Wilson finished the day with 2 hits, 2 RBI and 2 runs scored.
"Well, I've conceded the fact that you can't will yourself to hit a home run," he said. "I tried hard for the last few days. It was getting to be embarrassing with the crowd standing up every time I came to the plate."
Wilson has a lifetime .284 batting average and .333 on-base percentage in his 1202-game career with 1365 hits and 501 home runs.
