5-for-5 Day for Serafine Monday, June 23rd , 2053 Salem-Keizer center fielder Rod Serafine went down swinging at Orange Kings Ballpark, knocking out 5 hits even as his Volcanoes fell, 6-4. "It was like I was hitting Little League pitching," Serafine said after his 5-for-5 performance against the Houston Orange Kings. "No offense meant to Houston, but it was like I was back in little league again -- I could see the ball that well." After the game, his manager elaborated on the center fielder's improvements, saying Serafine spent the offseason trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball. "That's what I'm trying to do," Serafine agreed. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it." Rod Serafine singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This year, Serafine has socked 83 hits in 241 at-bats for a .344 average with 6 home runs. He is getting on base at a .424 pace and his totals also include 34 RBIs and 37 runs scored. View Boxscore |
