5-for-5 Day for Owens Tuesday, July 27th , 2032 5 hits in a game has always been a big milestone in baseball -- 5 hits in a game gets a player's name in the record book, win or lose. Arthur Owens got his name recorded today, but the Vancouver Voodoo picked up the win at Einert's Field, topping the Area 51 Extraterrestrial's, 4-3. "He bushwhacked us," said winning manager Matt MacKey. "We were lucky to come out ahead." Owens spoke to reporters in the clubhouse following the game, saying his nerves only set in once he was on the cusp of the milestone. "I got too much adrenaline going when I realized that this could be a once-in-a-lifetime day," the first baseman said. "I think the coaches could tell I was going to be ready to swing at anything close. That's why my third base coach told me to calm down and wait for a good pitch. That got me back on track." Arthur Owens doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. Currently Owens is batting .347 with 3 home runs and 12 RBIs. View Boxscore |
