Wahlert Has Hot Hand, Bangs 5 hits Tuesday, July 15th , 2025 A jubilant Jarrod Wahlert joined the postgame press conference at Field of the Colonels to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Tiverton Colonels pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Franklin Cubs first baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led to the 17-8 Cubs win. "He made it look easy," said Chris Hartman, manager of the Colonels. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Jarrod Wahlert hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 1st, was hit by a pitch in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 7th and doubled in the 9th. At the moment, Wahlert is batting .545 with 11 home runs and 34 RBIs. He has played in 21 games and scored 29 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |
