crazy numbers - again

Ole Miss' Senquez Golson had an odd — but good — game on Tuesday. Golson was 0-for-7 but scored four times in the Rebels' 20-4 rout of UT-Martin, which made five errors. Golson, the highly prized two-sport star from Pascagoula, has scored 10 runs in nine games for the 10-2 Rebels. The freshman is also hitting .333 with four steals in five attempts. Alex Yarbrough is batting .413 with two homers and 16 RBIs, but the numbers that really jump off the Ole Miss stat page belong to Zach Kirksey. The senior, who struggled in 2011 after transferring in from juco power LSU-Eunice, is batting .500 (11-for-22) with five homers, 21 RBIs and a 1.364 slugging percentage. Kirksey blasted two homers against UT-Martin, including a grand slam, and has half the Rebels' team total.
P.S. Former Jackson Generals star Carlos Guillen announced his retirement on Tuesday. The number of ex-Gens still hanging around dwindles. Lance Berkman, Bobby Abreu, Freddy Garcia, Julio Lugo and Raul Chavez remain active. ... What a hard fall it's been for former Jackson Mets standout Lenny Dykstra, who was sentenced to three years in a California prison on Monday for car theft. When he arrived in Jackson in 1984, bursting with talent and confidence, he seemed to have the world in his hands.
