 | Saturday, July 5th, 1997: Hot Bat of Harris Burns Desert It was a big day with the bat for John Harris of the Cincinnati Samurai at Energy Ballpark as he bashed out hit after hit after hit to defeat Colorado Springs 13-1. To the press after the ballgame he modestly said, "Guys, it's just one game in a long season. I hit it hard and found some holes today -- Bingo! -- 5 hits in 5 tries! But my hits are not the big thing in the game. The victory is the important thing. That's the story." At the end of the game Harris had collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. He was happy. He had a big day with the bat. And the Samurai had won. The beat writers were happy, too. They had their big story -- they could write about his big day with the bat. J. Harris hit a two-run double in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 4th, doubled in the 6th and hit an RBI single in the 7th. This year Harris has no home runs and a .366 batting average. |
