Smith Goes 5-5 Tuesday, September 25th, 2018 "It was like I was hitting little league pitching again," said Mark Smith after his 5-hit performanace against the Sabercats. "No offense meant to Mdewanketon, but I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Mystic Lake Stadium. I'm just not too happy that we lost 10-9." The Amarillo first baseman had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 5 at-bats. His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Mark 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," Smith said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it. It sure did work today." Mark Smith hit an RBI single in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Aydin Amilakhvarov in the 7th and hit a two-run single in the 8th. So far this year, Smith is batting .305 with 2 home runs and 19 RBIs. |
