SDMB League News Article | |  | Sunday, April 28th, 2013: Smith Strokes 5 Hits After the Walla Walla 7-2 victory over Los Angeles and his 5-hit day shortstop Fred Smith told BNN beat writers, "It really doesn't matter whether it's sandlot ball, high school or college ball, two hits in a game is very good... three or four hits even better... 5 or more are out of sight... and if it is in pro ball... it is really something special. It will get you in the record books."
The 28-year-old player gained that distinction today at Old League Park with a spectacular 5 for 5 game against the Los Angeles Scorpions.
The skipper of the Federal Duck spoke glowingly of Smith, telling BNN writers, "His swing is getting there. We want him to be quick with his swing, short and compact. We want him to be patient and go the other way when he can. Fred did that to perfection today."
F. Smith singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, doubled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off W. Augustin in the 8th.
In his season totals Smith has 5 home runs and a .355 batting average. | |
