Great Stroke: France Gets 5 Hits Wednesday, July 11th, 2018 A jubilant Ty France joined the postgame press conference at Hadlock Field today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Portland Sea Dogs pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Chattanooga Lookouts first 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-5 hitting performance, which led the Lookouts to a 18-3 win. "He made it look easy," said , manager of the Sea Dogs. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Ty France hit a three-run home run off Tony Gonsolin in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, was hit by a pitch in the 5th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit a two-run single in the 9th. So far this season France has put up a .292 batting average with 71 hits, 5 home runs and 38 RBIs. |
