 | Hatcher Tags Whitecaps for 5 Hits Tuesday, July 2nd, 2013: Players get multi-hit games all the time. But a 5-hit game only comes around once in a blue moon. It happened at Outlander Park when Dexter Hatcher of Frisco scattered 5 hits all over the ballpark against the Grand Haven Whitecaps. He was down and a little subdued with mixed feelings in the postgame interview. "It was a good day for me, but not a good day for the Rams. The bottom line in baseball is to win. We didn't do it today," he told the press after the game. He walloped 5 hits in 5 at-bats in his career day performance, but it was the Whitecaps, who won the ballgame 11-6. However, the shortstop of the Rams did have this to say: "My swing was really, really there today. I made some good, solid contact and when that happens... good things happen. Sure, 5-5 and losing is better than going 0-5 and losing. I'll take 2-4 and a win and be overjoyed. I ain't greedy." Dexter Hatcher singled in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, hit a two-run double in the 6th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th. This season Hatcher has banged out 72 hits in 304 at-bats for a .237 average with 3 home runs. He is getting on base at a .314 pace and his totals also include 40 RBIs and 27 runs scored. |   |
