| Breaking News |  | Thursday, August 24th, 1995: Strawberry Blisters San Francisco
It was a parade of hits for Darryl Strawberry of the New York (N) Mets... one right after another... a total of 5 for the day. He ravaged the San Francisco Giants for 5 hits in his 5 at-bats and propelled the Mets to a 8-7 victory.
"Strawberry was really good and we were really bad," groaned the Giants manager. "Next time he's that hot, we'll just walk him."
D. Strawberry singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off M. Turner in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off D. Bochtler in the 8th and walked in the 10th.
To date Strawberry has chalked up a .314 average with 24 home runs, driven in 101 runs and scored 91 times. |
 | Thursday, August 24th, 1995: Giants Pitching Ravaged by Clark
It was a good day for the Mets at Shea Stadium as they clipped the San Francisco Giants 8-7. It was tremendous day for Will Clark, who went on quite a hitting spree with a 5 for 6 barrage.
The New York (N) first baseman told reporters after his big 5-hit performance, "I don't have any buzz words. I'm not 'dialed in' or 'in a zone,' as they say. As far as the hitting goes, I try to keep it simple. I try not to look into it too much. Basically the pitcher throws the ball, I try to pick up the spin, then try to hit it. Today I picked up the spin very well."
W. Clark singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off M. Turner in the 8th and flied out in the 10th.
In 1995, Clark is hitting .339 with 26 home runs and 106 RBIs in 133 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .399 with 54 walks and 93 runs scored. |
