Billings Belts 5 Hits Tuesday, May 10th , 2072 After a 5-hit effort to lead Jackson Hole 's 15-3 victory over the George Town Tourists, first baseman Rob Billings told BNN beat writers it had been "a special day." "It really doesn't matter whether it's sandlot ball, high school or college, two hits in a game is nice," he said. "Three or four is better, but five or more is out of sight. And to do that at the POTD Double A-level is really something special." The 22-year-old player earned his accolades at Field of the Champs with a spectacular 5-for-5 game against the Tourists. "His swing is getting there," said Bucks skipper , who spoke glowingly of Billings after the game. "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. Rob did that to perfection." Rob Billings singled in the 2nd, hit a GRAND SLAM off Benedict Turner in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Alberto Vega in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and hit an RBI single in the 7th. At present, Billings is batting .419 with 26 hits and 4 home runs. He has knocked in 16 runs and scored 11 times. View Boxscore |
