Great Stroke: Ballagas Gets 5 Hits Thursday, August 31st , 2051 Even as a kid, Francisco Ballagas said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Imperials Grove, Ballagas showed how well he learned that lesson. The 22-year-old center fielder had 5 hits in 6 at-bats for the Wichita Falcons, helping his team knock off the Cloverleaf Imperials by a score of 14-3. "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." Francisco Ballagas flied out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, tripled in the 6th, singled in the 7th, singled in the 8th and hit a three-run home run off Zack Wolfe in the 9th. In his season totals, Ballagas has 5 home runs, .486 BA, .568 OBP, 16 RBIs and 17 runs scored. He has played in 20 games. View Boxscore |
