Hill Sizzles -- Smokes Generals for 5 Hits
Monday, July 3rd , 2062
Some moments become linked with a particular player's career forever. Roy Hill of the Alameda Airmen had one of those moments when he went 5-for-5 at the plate in his team's 7-0 win over the Washington Generals at Alameda Field.
"I won't forget this anytime soon, and I don't expect it to happen too often," the 20-year-old center fielder told reporters in the postgame interview. "I'll be happy to just get a hit or two every day. Enough to hang around the league a while longer. Like 10, maybe 15 more years."
Roy Hill singled in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Kent Nelson in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th and doubled in the 8th.
This season, Hill has banged out 59 hits in 206 at-bats for a .286 average with 5 home runs. He is getting on base at a .327 pace and his totals also include 14 RBIs and 25 runs scored.
