Rutherford Rips Grafton for 5 Hits Saturday, August 25th, 2029 Jeff Rutherford put on a hitting clinic today as the Philadelphia 1776 BC dumped the Grafton Middies 15-8 at Ben Franklin Memorial Coliseum. The Philadelphia 1776 first baseman made Grafton defenders earn their pay, lashing Grafton pitching for 5 hits in 5 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," Rutherford said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Jeff Rutherford hit an RBI double in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 6th, hit a two-run single in the 6th and singled in the 8th. Rutherford is hitting .237 this year with 7 home runs and 36 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .321, 31 walks and scored 32 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |
