 | Bauer Goes on Rampage Against Hops Friday, July 19th, 2013: "It was like I was hitting little league pitching," said Will Bauer after his 5-hit performance against the Hops. "No offense meant to San Diego, but it was like I was back in little league again. I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was The Brew Stade." The Boston right fielder had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 5 at-bats and pacing his club to a 6-0 victory. His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Will worked the entire offseason on trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball and the hard work is paying off in base hits." "That's what I'm trying to do," Bauer said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it." Will Bauer singled in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Mike Joyce in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th. This year Bauer is hitting .280 with 17 home runs and 45 RBIs in 89 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .366 with 45 walks and 61 runs scored. |   |
