5-for-6 Game for Russell Sunday, September 13th, 2020 "Ever since I picked up my first bat my coaches were always saying to keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing... just make contact and ya never know what'll happen," Mercer Island's Mike Russell told reporters after the game. "That's all I did today. I made contact and it turned out well." It definitely turned out well for Russell today as he collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats against Sacramento. It turned out well for his team, too, as the Screaming Eagles knocked off the Whitecaps 10-5 at Whitecaps Park. Mike Russell singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, flied out in the 5th, doubled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This season Russell is batting .278 with 7 home runs. He has scored 54 runs and driven in 43. |
