 | Sunday, April 19th, 1998: Daniels Tags Pig Kings 5 Hits
The Purple Riders whipped the Pig Kings 28-4 at Ballpark of Madison and Rob Daniels had a big hand in the win. The Purple Riders left fielder came to the plate 5 times and collected 5 hits. It was a good day for Daniels and a tough day for Springfield.
"I just go up there and whale away and hope it hits the barrel of the bat," he said. "There really isn't any plan."
Plan or not, Daniels delivered today -- 5-5 is outstanding in any league.
R. Daniels singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI triple in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th and hit a three-run home run off J. Clark in the 6th.
In the 1998 season Daniels is batting .424 with 25 hits and 1 home run. He has scored 11 times and batted in 12.
