Red-Hot Schmidt Scorches Threshers Friday, May 26th , 2051 It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-6 day. For many, it might come around only once in a career -- and for Brian Schmidt, it came around today. The 23-year-old right fielder scattered hits all over Walker Stadium to pace the 5-4 Portland Pickles victory over the Nephi Threshers. Nephi skipper Pedro Martinez told reporters in the press room that "Schmidt deserves a hat-tip." "He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Schmidt hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit." Brian Schmidt singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, grounded out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, doubled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th. Currently Schmidt is batting .275 with 6 home runs and 16 RBIs. View Boxscore |
