5-Hit Game for Smith Sunday, August 4th, 2024 It was a big day with the bat for Dave Smith of the Newark Jail Birds at Cobras Ballpark as he bashed out hit after hit after hit to defeat Jacksonville 16-7. After the game he said, "Guys, it's just one game in a long season. I hit it hard and found some holes today. 5 hits in 5 tries. But my hits are not the big thing in the game. The victory is the important thing. That's the story." At the end of the game Smith had collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. He was happy. He had a big day with the bat. And the Jail Birds had won. Dave Smith singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Abalendu Sourabh in the 5th and hit an RBI single in the 7th. Presently Smith is hitting .302 with 1 home run and 14 RBIs. He has played in 21 games and scored 10 times. |
