Buckner Rips Niagara Falls for 5 Hits Sunday, August 31st, 2031 Greg Buckner put on a hitting clinic today as the Highwood Hawks dumped the Niagara Falls Expos 16-11 at Waterfall Park. The Highwood left fielder made Niagara Falls defenders earn their pay, lashing Niagara Falls pitching for 5 hits in 7 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Buckner said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Greg Buckner grounded out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Nino Ghannam in the 2nd, flied out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Ricardo Ramírez in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th. Buckner is hitting .246 this year with 3 home runs and 15 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .298, 13 walks and scored 27 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |
