 Also an eighth grader, making just his second at-bat of the season. First pitch misses low for a ball, and it's 1-0. One at-bat, one strikeout this year for Johnson. Here's the pitch. Called strike on the outside corner, and it's 1-1. Part of a run of several eighth graders that we'll see in the lineup here for Essex. Here's the 1-1. Swung on and missed. It's 1-2 now.
