 | Sunday, August 6th, 1995: Erstad Gets 5 Hits
It wasn't just another day at the ballpark for Darin Erstad of the Newark Slashers. Erstad went on a tear at Newark Grounds and cracked hit after hit off New Lexington pitching.
When the dust settled on the diamond, the 21-year-old center fielder had a career 5-6 day and something he will long remember. "Yeah, it'll be something nice to tell the grandkids, but I don't think I'll tell 'em we lost," he joked in the BNN postgame interview.
Erstad got the accolades today, but the New Lexington Napalm walked off the field with a 12-11 win.
D. Erstad singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, flied out in the 5th, singled in the 8th and hit a solo-shot off W. Rosenthal in the 9th.
Erstad is batting .357 this season in 46 games with 6 home runs, 25 RBIs and 37 runs scored. He has 71 hits in 199 at-bats.
