Deschain 5-for-5 for Longnecks
Friday, August 1st, 2025
5 hits in a game has always been a magic number in baseball. Only a handful of players will do that. Get 5 hits in a game, and you get your moment of glory, your fifteen minutes of fame -- you get your name in the record book. In the Longnecks 9-4 win over Santa Barbara, Roland Deschain was red-hot today, scorching them for hit after hit at Crane Field.
"To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax. I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I must admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for a 5-hit game. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close."
On his big day Deschain delivered 5 hits in 5 at-bats. Roland Deschain singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, tripled in the 5th and hit a two-run single in the 7th.
So far this season Deschain has put up a .353 batting average with 47 hits, no home runs and 12 RBIs.
