Hedger Torches Fighting Knights for 6 Hits Tuesday, May 21st , 2024 A jubilant Mike Hedger joined the postgame press conference at Fighting Knights Field to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Niskayuna Fighting Knights pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Wichita Panthers 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 6-for-7 hitting performance, which led to the 15-0 Panthers win. "He made it look easy," said Gabe Ludwigsen, manager of the Fighting Knights. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Mike Hedger singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, singled in the 7th, struck out in the 8th and singled in the 9th. Hedger is hitting at a .367 mark this season. His stats show 6 home runs, 31 RBIs and 25 runs scored. He has played 38 games for the Panthers. View Boxscore View Game Log |
