| Breaking News |  | Saturday, May 12th, 2007: 5 Hits for Civics Fields
"It was like I was hitting little league pitching," said Buddy Fields after his 5-hit performance against the Rangers. "No offense meant to Stockton, but it was like I was back in little league again. I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Civics Ballpark."
The Concord left fielder had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 5 at-bats and pacing his club to a 8-2 victory.
His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Buddy 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," Fields said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it."
B. Fields tripled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off J. Unknown in the 8th.
So far this season, Fields has recorded a .272 batting average with 43 hits, 2 home runs, 17 RBIs, 20 runs scored and a .299 OBP. |
