 | Wednesday, May 27th, 1998: Irwin Bashes 5 Base Hits
It was a big day with the bat for Matt Irwin of the Ann Arbor Aardvarks at Monitors Ballpark as he bashed out hit after hit after hit to defeat Cheyenne 12-2.
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. 5 hits in 6 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 Irwin had collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. He was happy. He had a big day with the bat. And the Aardvarks had won.
The beat writers were happy, too. They had their big story -- they could write about his big day with the bat.
M. Irwin singled in the 1st, doubled in the 4th, flied out in the 5th, singled in the 7th, singled in the 8th and hit a two-run single in the 9th.
To date this season Irwin is hitting .270 with no home runs.
