Hodges Goes on Rampage Against Sabercats Friday, June 30th, 2017 5 hits in a game has always been a magic number in baseball. Only a handful of players will do that. Get 5 hits in a game, and you get your moment of glory, your fifteen minutes of fame -- you get your name in the record book. In the Communists 31-5 win over Mdewanketon, Forrest Hodges was red-hot today, scorching them for hit after hit at Mystic Lake Stadium. "To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax. I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I must admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for a 5-hit game. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close." On his big day Hodges delivered 5 hits in 6 at-bats. Forrest Hodges singled in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Todd Green in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th, walked in the 6th, singled in the 7th, hit a three-run home run off Masayuki Okada in the 8th and walked in the 9th. Hodges is hitting .343 this year with 10 home runs, 47 RBIs and 50 runs scored. He has 87 hits in 254 at-bats, 21 walks and a .394 on-base percentage. Hodges has played in 70 games. |
