 | Wednesday, August 6th, 2177: Becker Strokes 5 Hits
It doesn't happen very often, but it happened for Andy Becker -- a 5-hit day. He went on a rampage at Tornado Alley and paced the Tornado to a 10-4 win over the Dallas Oil Kings.
After his dynamite batting performance the Oklahoma City second baseman told the press, "I just tried to get myself in a good count and have a good at-bat. That's all I can control." His philosophy paid some great dividends today. He slammed 5 hits in 6 tries and put his name in the record book.
A. Becker singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off C. Días in the 7th and flied out in the 9th.
Currently Becker has 2 home runs and a .307 batting average.
