Pennington Has Hot Hand, Bangs 5 hits Monday, August 26th, 2019 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 Diablos 8-7 win over Acapulco, George Pennington was red-hot today, scorching them for hit after hit at Underdogs Ballpark. "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 Pennington delivered 5 hits in 7 at-bats. George Pennington doubled in the 1st, struck out in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, hit a two-run single in the 6th, singled in the 9th, grounded out in the 11th and hit an RBI single in the 12th. Currently Pennington is batting .235 with 44 hits and 1 home run. He has knocked in 15 runs and scored 18 times. |
