 | Thursday, August 8th, 1957: Rodgers Smacks 5 Hits for Red Wings
"It was like I was hitting little league pitching," said Andre Rodgers after his 5-hit performance against the River Cats. "No offense meant to Sacramento, but I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Walnuts Ballpark!"
The Rochester shortstop had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 5 at-bats and pacing his club to a 10-1 victory.
His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Andre 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," Rodgers said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it."
A. Rodgers tripled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 6th and hit an RBI single in the 7th.
This season Rodgers is batting .337 with 11 home runs. |
