France Belts 5 Hits Monday, August 26th , 2019 5 hits in a game has always been a big milestone in baseball -- 5 hits in a game gets a player's name in the record book, win or lose. Ty France got his name recorded today, but the Anaheim Canaries picked up the win at Ballpark of Ft. Dix, topping the Ft. Dix Sabercats, 9-7. "He bushwhacked us," said winning manager . "We were lucky to come out ahead." France, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2018 draft, spoke to reporters in the clubhouse following the game, saying his nerves only set in once he was on the cusp of the milestone. "I got too much adrenaline going when I realized that this could be a once-in-a-lifetime day," the third baseman said. "I think the coaches could tell I was going to be ready to swing at anything close. That's why my third base coach told me to calm down and wait for a good pitch. That got me back on track." Ty France doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th. This year, France is batting .359 with 2 home runs. |
