Big Day with Bat: Hutchinson 5-for-5 Friday, April 17th, 1998 The Purple Knights were defeated 14-10 today at Ballpark of Peoria HS by the Coyotes, but you can't say Roy Hutchinson didn't give it his best try. The Purple Knights second baseman came to the plate 5 times and collected 5 hits. It was a good day for Hutchinson and a tough day for Poplar Bluffs HS. "I just go up there and swing away and hope it hits the barrel of the bat," he said. "There really isn't any plan." No plan or not, Hutchinson delivered today... 5-for-5 is outstanding in any league. Roy Hutchinson hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th. This season Hutchinson is swinging the bat at a .300 pace. He has hit 1 home run and scored 15 times, while driving in 8. His on-base percentage is .437 and he has played in 20 games. |
