 | Wednesday, September 25th, 1996: Super Swinger! Greene Slams 5 Hits!
Who needs batting practice? Eugene Greene of Vancouver apparently doesn't as he peppered Reno with a 5-hit outburst in today's game. He got the hits, but lost the game. The Avalanche pulled out a 3-2 win.
He told the press after the game, "And I didn't even take BP today. I think I have been taking too many swings before game and decided to take a day off. Wow, this was really something... a 5 for 6 day... will my name be in the record books now?"
One of his teammates hollered out, "No, only if your team wins the game!"
E. Greene singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, singled in the 8th, singled in the 10th, walked in the 12th, walked in the 14th and singled in the 16th.
In his stats this season, Greene has posted a batting average of .380 with 52 hits in 137 at-bats, no home runs and 12 RBIs. He has also scored 36 runs, walked 46 times and compiled a .548 OBP.
