 | Wednesday, June 3rd, 1998: 5-Hit Blitz by Carson
All game long Athens's Travis Carson was rattling the walls at Valkries Ballpark and banging out base hits against the Carson City Senators and when the dust finally settled on the diamond, he had a career day, a 5-hit day, but no victory. The Senators defeated the Giants 12-10 to take a little of the glitter of the occasion away.
Speaking with reporters after his standout performance, the 25-year-old second baseman lamented, "To get 5 hits and win a ballgame, that would have been a very special day. But we didn't win today. It's not easy to be happy when you lose. Only losers do that."
In all, Carson collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats and a spot in the record book.
T. Carson singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off J. Stewart in the 9th.
Presently Carson is batting .331 with 85 hits and 2 home runs. He has knocked in 27 runs and scored 38 times.
