Parra Goes on Rampage Against Drillers Friday, August 4th , 2045 It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-5 day. For many, it might come around only once in a career -- and for John Parra, it came around today. The 24-year-old first baseman scattered hits all over Hammons Field to pace the Springfield Cardinals to a 15-2 victory over the Tulsa Drillers. Tulsa skipper Austin Sodders told reporters in the press room that "Parra deserves a hat-tip." "He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Parra hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit." John Parra singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, walked in a run in the 4th, hit a two-run double in the 5th and singled in the 7th. For the year Parra is hitting .348 with 8 home runs. His stats include 43 RBI and 61 runs scored. |
