Great Stroke: Coad Gets 5 Hits Monday, April 17th, 2023 Players get multi-hit games all the time. But a 5-hit game only comes around once in a blue moon. It happened at Ballpark of Barrow College when Dylan Coad of South Illinois scattered 5 hits all over the ballpark against the Vanderbilt Commodores. He was down and a little subdued with mixed feelings in the postgame interview. "It was a good day for me, but not a good day for the Salukis. The bottom line in baseball is to win. We didn't do it today," he told the press after the game. He walloped 5 hits in 5 at-bats in his career day performance, but it was the Commodores, who won the ballgame 7-6. However, the third baseman of the Salukis did have this to say: "My swing was really, really there today. I made some good, solid contact and when that happens... good things happen. Sure, 5-5 and losing is better than going 0-5 and losing. I'll take 2-4 and a win and be overjoyed. I ain't greedy." Dylan Coad singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5 th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. For the year Coad has hit .422 with 1 home run, 7 RBIs and scored 8 runs. |
