Rivera Strokes 5 Hits Saturday, March 18th, 2034 Franklin Rivera put on a hitting clinic today as the Kearny High Cardinals dumped the Grand Island Islanders 27-5 at Loggers Ballpark. The Kearny High left fielder made Grand Island defenders earn their pay, lashing Grand Island pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Rivera said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Franklin Rivera walked in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Paul Higgins in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and singled in the 7th. In 12 games this season Rivera has batted at a .420 pace with 21 hits and 1 home run. View Boxscore View Game Log |
