Trappers Olson Smacks 5 Hits
Friday, September 3rd , 2049
A jubilant Nick Olson joined the postgame press conference at Trappers Ballpark to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Sarasota Supernovas pitching staff he had just vanquished.
"It may not have looked like it," said the Arlington Trappers second baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."
That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led to the 7-6 Trappers win.
"He made it look easy," said Elijah Paysinger, manager of the Supernovas. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."
Nick Olson singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 8th, flied out in the 10th and singled in the 12th.
Looking at his present stats, Olson has compiled a .311 batting average in 62 games with a .365 on-base percentage, while hitting 12 home runs and driving in 39 runs.
