Reading left fielder Austin Howard could do no wrong in today's 7-4 win over the Jail Break as he collected 5 hits.

"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Jail Break skipper Justin Fusco said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."

Howard agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.

"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."

Austin Howard struck out in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 7th, singled in the 9th, singled in the 11th and hit a two-run double in the 13th.

This season in 94 games Howard is batting .283 with 14 home runs, 56 RBIs and has scored 55 times.
