Big Day with Bat: Long 5-for-5 Sunday, May 27th, 2040 Even as a kid, Claude Long said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Hound Pound today, Long showed how well he learned that lesson. The 21-year-old catcher had 5 hits in 5 at-bats for the Hicksville Hounds, helping his team knock off the Tulsa Otters by a score of 8-3. "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." Claude Long singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th and singled in the 7th. On the year Long is hitting .304 with 24 hits, no home runs, 9 RBIs, .333 OBP and has scored 8 runs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
