 | Saturday, July 15th, 2000: Hennessey 5-5 Against Las Vegas
It was a sensational day at the plate for Jack Hennessey, but a letdown as well as the Bleacher Bums dropped the game 16-11 to the Stars.
Nonetheless the Chicago second baseman was pure misery for the Las Vegas pitching staff. He left them shellshocked with 5 hits in 5 at-bats in an explosive display of hitting.
"It's always good to get a bunch of hits in a game, but you also want to win. That's the important thing," Hennessey said.
The manager of the Stars told BNN reporters after the game, "Hennessey put the ball into play. He really hit it hard. When you do that, you've got a pretty good chance to do some damage. And that's what happened. I feel like we threw him some pretty good pitches, but he just put some good swings on the ball."
J. Hennessey singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.
Hennessey's current batting average stands at .286 and he has chalked up 4 home runs and 37 RBIs.
