5-for-6 Game for Battle Saturday, May 20th, 2028 Even as a kid, Howard Battle said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Sembower Field today, Battle showed how well he learned that lesson. The 20-year-old second baseman had 5 hits in 6 at-bats for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, helping his team knock off the Indiana Hoosiers by a score of 17-5. "They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did today." Howard Battle grounded out in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit a two-run double in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th. Battle on the season is batting .263 with 4 home runs. His totals include 28 RBIs and 26 runs scored. He has played in 42 games. View Boxscore View Game Log |
