PCBL Double A News Article | |  | Friday, April 4th, 1997: Gracy on Fire, 5-7 Against Edmonton It was a big day with the bat for Tim Gracy of the Alexandria Gladiators at Ballpark of Fairfield as he bashed out hit after hit after hit to defeat Edmonton 18-7.
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 7 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 Gracy had collected 5 hits in 7 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. He was happy. He had a big day with the bat. And the Gladiators had won.
The beat writers were happy, too. They had their big story -- they could write about his big day with the bat.
T. Gracy flied out in the 1st, struck out in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.
