Super Swinger -- Tengesdal Slams 5 Hits Friday, March 10th, 2017 Indiana State right fielder Bård Tengesdal could do no wrong as he collected 5 hits against Virginia, but he couldn't win the game. "It's a shame we didn't win. It would have been a very special day if that had happened. But it didn't. At least my batting average didn't take a plunge, too," he said. The Sycamores were beaten 22-12 at Ballpark of Redwood College by the Cavaliers. "In every one of his at-bats, things were in his favor... he got hitter's counts," the skipper of the Cavaliers said to the press corps after the game. Tengesdal agreed. "The key is getting ahead. Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit. You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready." Bård Tengesdal grounded out in the 1st, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Mike Thompson in the 8th and singled in the 9th. In 5 games this season Tengesdal has batted at a .438 pace with 7 hits and 1 home run. |
