 | Sunday, June 13th, 2027: 5-Hit Game for Riley! "It was like I was hitting little league pitching," said Nick Riley after his 5-hit performance against the Lookouts. "No offense meant to Chattanooga, but I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Cardinals Ballpark!" The Springfield third baseman had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 6 at-bats and pacing his club to a 20-5 victory. His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Nick worked the entire offseason on trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball and the hard work is paying off in base hits." "That's what I'm trying to do," Riley said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it." N. Riley doubled in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th. Riley is batting .303 with 1 home runs and 23 RBIs this season. |
