5-6 Game for van Wijk Saturday, April 7th, 2018 Halewijn van Wijk really did a number on the Saints -- but Trois-Rivieres retaliated and did a number on the Capitals -- they beat them 9-5. Not just anyone can get 5 hits in 6 at-bats. But van Wijk did just that today for Victoria and gave his batting average a healthy boost, but did not deliver the victory. "I felt real good in the batter's box today. I had confidence in my swing and knew that it was there and that I could get the job done," the 17-year-old first baseman said after his record-setting performance. "I just wish we had won the game, too." Halewijn van Wijk singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, grounded out in the 7th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 10th. This season in 31 games, van Wijk has hit at a .355 clip with 43 hits, 4 home runs, 23 RBIs and 18 runs scored. |
