 | Sunday, April 9th, 2017: 5-6 Day for Granitehammer! "It was like I was hitting little league pitching," said Carl Granitehammer after his 5-hit performance against the Marauders. "No offense meant to Mirkwood, but I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Elrod Stadium at Finrod Field!" The Minas Tirith second baseman had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 6 at-bats and pacing his club to a 5-4 victory. His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Carl 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," Granitehammer said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it." C. Granitehammer singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th, grounded out in the 8th and singled in the 10th. This year Granitehammer has batted at a .371 pace with 13 hits, no home runs, 5 RBIs and scored 5 times. |
