Super Swinger -- Wheeler Slams 5 Hits Monday, April 23rd , 2046 Eddie Wheeler put on a hitting clinic today as the Raleigh Explorers dumped the Hampton Roads Squires 12-5 at Harbor Park Stadium. The Raleigh second baseman made Hampton Roads defenders earn their pay, lashing Hampton Roads pitching for 5 hits in 6 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Wheeler said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Eddie Wheeler singled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, flied out in the 6th, hit a two-run double in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This year Wheeler is batting .271 with no home runs. He has scored 9 runs and driven in 6. View Boxscore |
