 | Simmons Socks it to Jesters, Cracks 5 Hits Saturday, April 28th, 2012: Greenville first baseman Kieran Simmons banged out 5 hits today, but it was not enough to keep his club from succumbing to the Jesters 10-9. He went 5-for-5 and raised his batting average a few points. Despite the loss, Simmons was not dismayed: "If the hits keep coming," he said, "so will the runs -- and more importantly -- so will the wins." Kieran Simmons singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Cisco Sánchez in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Mike Harmon in the 9th. In 24 games this season Simmons is batting .369 with 38 hits and 6 home runs. He has scored 16 runs and driven in 21. |   |
