Ernest Belts 5 Hits Friday, April 11th , 2042 Getting 5 hits in a game doesn't happen every day, so it was a special occasion for Phillies's Joe Ernest at Citizens Bank Park. Ernest put up a 5-for-5 line against the Pittsburgh Pirates, swinging the bat with authority all day despite his club's eventual 9-7 loss. "I'm just out there to try and help the team win," Ernest said after the game. "I had some real good at-bats. I made good, solid contact and luckily no one caught 'em. I had a great day, but it's disappointing to lose." Disappointed or not, he still gets his name in the record books. Joe Ernest doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Leo Urbina in the 7th and singled in the 9th. For the year, Ernest is hitting .438 with 1 home run. His stats include 1 run batted in and 3 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
