Plymouth's Hoffman Goes Ballistic with 5 Hits Tuesday, July 23rd , 2024 A jubilant Robby Hoffman joined the postgame press conference at Franklin Park to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Franklin Cubs pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Plymouth Rockers 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-6 hitting performance, which led to the 10-8 Rockers win. "He made it look easy," said Kerry McElree, manager of the Cubs. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Robby Hoffman singled in the 2nd, grounded out in the 4th, walked in the 6th, singled in the 7th, hit an RBI double in the 9th, singled in the 11th and singled in the 13th. Hoffman is hitting .337 this year with 8 home runs and 37 RBIs. He also has an OBP of .417, 22 walks and scored 28 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |
