5-Hit Barrage by Ballard
Thursday, May 6th, 2038
Some moments become linked with a particular player's career forever. Byron Ballard of the South Beach Blaze had one of those moments when he went 5-for-6 at the plate today in the 8-7 win over the York Revolution at York Park.
"I won't forget this anytime soon, and I don't expect it to happen too often," the 19-year-old third baseman told reporters in the postgame interview. "I'll be happy to just get a hit or two every day. Enough to hang around the league a while longer. Like 10, maybe 15 more years."
Byron Ballard hit a two-run home run off Jesús Zúñiga in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, grounded out in the 8th, singled in the 11th and singled in the 13th.
Ballard is currently hitting at a .421 pace with 1 home run and 2 RBIs.
