 | Monday, August 19th, 2030: Whaley Cracks 5 Hits
It wasn't poetic justice.
Milo Whaley of the Gravediggers had a terrific 5-hit game today, really socking it to the Field A Red Team, but his team didn't win the game.
In the clubhouse after the 13-6 loss, he moaned to the press, "Hey, I don't want to sound ungrateful, but something is missing here. When you have a great game you should win the game, too."
And he definitely had an unforgettable day in the batter's box, ripping out 5 hits in 5 at-bats.
The manager for the Gravediggers sympathized with his shortstop and told SION reporters after the game, "Milo played a whale of a game, but sometimes individual brilliance is not enough to win...baseball is a team sport...it takes more than just one player to win a game."
M. Whaley hit an RBI single in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off S. Ashton in the 8th.
In the current season, Whaley has put up a .262 batting average with 107 hits, 7 home runs, 51 RBIs and scored 39 times.
