 | Sunday, August 31st, 2008: Lobsters Harrison Smacks 5 Hits!
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. Rob Harrison showed how it's done as he went 5 for 5 against the Monterey Sea Lions and helped the Maine Lobsters beat them 7-2.
The manager for the Sea Lions 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 Harrison keeps hitting like this, he could be headed for a big pay raise.
R. Harrison singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
Batting .301 to date, Harrison has 7 home runs and 53 RBIs.
