Lao Socks it to Steeldogs, Cracks 5 Hits Friday, August 21st, 2026 It was a good day all around. Baffin Island whipped Birmingham 9-1 and Keng-chi Lao displayed a hot bat, enjoying an outstanding 5-hit day at The Ballpark at Sloss Furnace. "Some days, lady luck is on your side," he modestly told BNN reporters after the game. His manager told the beat writers otherwise, "His hitting wasn't luck today. It's his solid approach to hitting. Keng-chi is focused, patient and he hits to all fields. The more solid at-bats you put together, the more success you're going to have." The 29-year-old third baseman for the Beavers collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats to get his name in the record book. Keng-chi Lao hit a two-run home run off Arthur Green in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 9th. This season Lao is batting .353 with 12 home runs. |
