Jordan also had success that year with home runs, 14, and RBIs, 54, The Journal and Courier wrote.
"I'm just concentrating and thinking about what I'm doing and not putting a lot of pressure on myself," Jordan explained to The Journal and Courier then. "That's the key - not trying to do more than I can do."
Jordan had that performance in his sixth season as a pro, his first in independent ball. He saw time in just one more campaign. He topped out at single-A.

He moved to rookie Johnson City for 1990. That July, he hit a two-run home run to help his team make up a deficit, The Johnson City Press wrote.
"We had a man on first and I knew I had to put the ball in play and make something happen," Jordan told The Press. "I wasn't thinking home run, but when I hit it I was pretty sure."
Jordan saw 61 games overall for Johnson City that year. He hit .276, with four home runs.
He played 1991 between single-A Savannah and Johnson City, then 1992 at short-season Hamilton. He saw just three games in 1993, at single-A Springfield.
