Manhatten Beach's Sumption Goes Ballistic with 5 Hits Monday, September 6th, 2021 "It was like I was hitting little league pitching again," said Robert Sumption after his 5-hit performanace against the Outlaws. "No offense meant to Brooklyn, but I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Blue Ivy Stadium. I'm just not too happy that we lost 12-8." The Manhatten Beach third 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, "Robert 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," Sumption 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." Robert Sumption singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and doubled in the 8th. This year Sumption is hitting .336 with 4 home runs. |
