Kelly Has Hot Hand, Bangs 5 hits
Sunday, July 31st , 2022
The Cottage City Cannonballers stopped the Deltaville Deltas by a score of 20-11 at Cannonballers Ballpark, with the lion's share of the credit going to left fielder Sam Kelly. The 24-year-old had a career day, collecting 5 hits.
"Every batter wants to have a quality at-bat every time he steps up to the plate," Kelly said later. "He wants to hit the ball hard."
Kelly did just that in his 6 at-bats, much to the chagrin of the Deltas.
"Not much that I can say," offered Deltaville manager Tony Sarmiento. "He just hammered the heck out of us."
Sam Kelly hit a solo-shot off Jim Unknown in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, struck out in the 4th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Jim Unknown in the 5th, singled in the 6th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Jim Unknown in the 7th.
In his season totals, Kelly has 19 home runs, .284 BA, .370 OBP, 57 RBIs and 60 runs scored. He has played in 98 games.
