Covey Sizzles -- Smokes Jail Birds for 5 Hits Saturday, August 13th, 2022 Martin Covey exploded for a barrage of base hits today at Cobras Ballpark. The Rock River second baseman had a field day in the 15-2 triumph over the Newark Jail Birds, finishing with a 5-6 day and a spot in the league record book. "My hitting philosophy is pretty simple," he said. "I focus on just seeing the ball and I try to get a good pitch." Well, Covey must have focused at least 5 times and apparently got some good pitches, too. It was one of his best days ever with the bat. Martin Covey singled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, doubled in the 7th, flied out in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th. This year Covey is batting .245 with 3 home runs and 37 RBIs. |
