 | Friday, August 29th, 2008: 5-Hit Game for Somin!
It was a big day with the bat for Kenneth Somin of the Waco Stampede at Central Texas Stadium as he bashed out hit after hit after hit to defeat Guantanamo Bay 25-1.
To the press after the ballgame he modestly said, "Guys, it's just one game in a long season. I hit it hard and found some holes today -- Bingo! -- 5 hits in 6 tries! But my hits are not the big thing in the game. The victory is the important thing. That's the story."
At the end of the game Somin had collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. He was happy. He had a big day with the bat. And the Stampede had won.
The beat writers were happy, too. They had their big story -- they could write about his big day with the bat.
K. Somin grounded out in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, doubled in the 5th, walked in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off J. García in the 8th.
So far this year in 127 games Somin is hitting .323 with 18 home runs, 79 RBIs and 95 runs scored.
