Wiley Socks It to Werewolves, Cracks 5 Hits
Tuesday, April 18th , 2023
It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-5 day. For many, it might come around only once in a career -- and for Bert Wiley, it came around today.
The 24-year-old second baseman scattered hits all over Werewolves Ballpark to pace the 12-1 Bangor Lumberjacks victory over the London Werewolves.
London skipper Adrian Mercado told reporters in the press room that "Wiley deserves a hat-tip."
"He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Wiley hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit."
Bert Wiley singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit a two-run single in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
In his season totals, Wiley has 2 home runs, .341 BA, .356 OBP, 11 RBIs and 6 runs scored. He has played in 12 games.
