Gilliam on Fire: 5-6 for Carolina Friday, September 9th, 2016 It was a good day all around. Carolina whipped Montreal 6-5 and George Gilliam displayed a hot bat, enjoying an outstanding 5-hit day at Progress Energy Field. "Some days, lady luck is on your side," he modestly told BNN reporters after the game. His manager told the beat writers otherwise, "His hitting wasn't luck today. It's his solid approach to hitting. George is focused, patient and he hits to all fields. The more solid at-bats you put together, the more success you're going to have." The 32-year-old designated hitter for the Crush collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats to get his name in the record book. George Gilliam singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 6th, struck out in the 8th, singled in the 10th, walked in the 12th and singled in the 14th. For the season Gilliam has produced 139 hits in 515 at-bats for a .270 average with 23 home runs and gotten on base at a .376 clip. |
