Gardner Sizzles -- Smokes Roadrunners for 5 Hits Thursday, May 7th , 2065 Deontay Gardner was at the head of a New York hit parade at The Birdnest. The left fielder went to the plate 6 times and came away with 5 hits, sparking the Cyclones to a nice 12-4 victory over the Phoenix Roadrunners. "I told the guys in the dugout, just be thinking about hitting the ball hard somewhere," the sweet-swinging Gardner told reporters after the game. "Seems like it worked out well for us today." Roadrunners skipper J.D. Fazlic said later that the club gave up "too much plate." "Not the way we planned it," he said. "Every hitter in the league will rip you when you do that." Deontay Gardner doubled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Mason Howell in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th. Gardner has a .286 average and a .339 on-base percentage for the year. He has picked up 32 hits, 6 home runs and driven in 14 runs. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
