5-Hit Barrage by Raphael Friday, April 2nd , 2021 Getting 5 hits in a game has always been memorable feat in baseball. In the Iowa State's 8-5 win over Georgia, first baseman Nate Raphael was red-hot, scorching them for hit after hit at Foley Field. "To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax," Raphael said afterward. "I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I have to admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for five. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close." Nate Raphael doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, grounded out in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th. Raphael is batting .385 this year with 3 home runs, 18 RBIs and 19 runs scored. He has 37 hits in 96 at-bats. |
