Samorukov 5-for-6 Against Generals Sunday, July 4th , 2060 Even as a kid, Fiers Samorukov said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Washington Park, Samorukov showed how well he learned that lesson. The 22-year-old catcher had 5 hits in 6 at-bats for the Niagara Falls Expos, helping his team knock off the Washington Generals by a score of 17-5. "They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did." Fiers Samorukov doubled in the 2nd, tripled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Sandro Sansovino in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI double in the 7th and grounded out in the 8th. This season in 13 games, Samorukov is batting .414 with 3 home runs, 4 RBIs and has scored 9 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |
