Sunday, April 2nd , 2023
Some moments become linked with a particular player's career forever. Dave Strength of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets had one of those moments when he went 5-for-6 at the plate in his team's 9-8 win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Mac Nease Baseball Park at Russ Chandler Stadium.
"I won't forget this anytime soon, and I don't expect it to happen too often," the 20-year-old left fielder told reporters in the postgame interview. "I'll be happy to just get a hit or two every day. Enough to hang around the league a while longer. Like 10, maybe 15 more years."
Dave Strength hit a solo-shot off Mike Harrison in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Mike Harrison in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th, singled in the 9th and grounded out in the 10th.
This season, Strength has hit 3 home runs and posted a .462 batting average.
