 | Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008: Hernández Smacks 6 Hits for Loggerdoggers
If just anyone could go out and hit a baseball, big dollar contracts wouldn't exist. But they can't, so the good hitters get the big bucks. Alejandro Hernández showed how it's done as he went 6 for 7 against the Rockville Reckoning and helped the Beaufort Loggerdoggers beat them 21-3.
The manager for the Reckoning told the SION sportswriters, "We made some bad pitches and he took advantage of it. That's the game of baseball. Don't make mistakes and you win a lot more ballgames."
If Hernández keeps hitting like this, he could be headed for a big pay raise.
A. Hernández flied out in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit a two-run single in the 6th, singled in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off K. Ageda in the 8th.
This season Hernández is batting .295 with 141 hits, 2 home runs, 41 RBIs, .302 OBP and has scored 51 runs.
