 | Friday, July 19th, 2019: Big Day for Hatch! Swats 5 Hits!
Somedays you can't win for losing. Just ask Chris Hatch. He was the King of Swing in the game against the Commanches, but his Dholes were beaten 19-17 anyway.
The Minneapolis right fielder stepped into the batter's box 6 times against the Birmingham and delivered 5 hits.
It was a sensational game for him. He excitedly told the press, "Unbelieveable feeling. Unbelieveable. It felt good. It felt great on the one hand, but a downer at the same time. What a day! 5 for 6! It does wonders for your batting average. But it's a shame we couldn't win it, too."
C. Hatch flied out in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, flied out in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, hit a two-run single in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.
To date, Hatch has collected 88 hits for a .277 average. He has posted 7 home runs, scored 44 runs and driven in 42 runs.
