Hit Parade: Smith Pops 5 Hits
Saturday, August 17th, 2019
It was a big day with the bat for Dan Smith of the Manhatten Beach Patriots at Skellington Stadium as he bashed out hit after hit after hit to defeat Jacksonville 14-11.
After the game he said, "Guys, it's just one game in a long season. I hit it hard and found some holes today. 5 hits in 6 tries. But my hits are not the big thing in the game. The victory is the important thing. That's the story."
At the end of the game Smith had collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. He was happy. He had a big day with the bat. And the Patriots had won.
Dan Smith doubled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, grounded out in the 6th, doubled in the 8th and hit an RBI double in the 9th.
Currently Smith is hitting .329 and has collected 12 home runs, 57 RBIs and scored 63 times, while playing in 104 games.
