 | Tuesday, June 25th, 2013: Murphy Belts 5 Hits! It was a big day with the bat for Andrew Murphy of the Greenville Moonshiners at Moonshiners Ballpark as he bashed out hit after hit after hit to defeat Washington 8-6. To the press after the ballgame he modestly said, "Guys, it's just one game in a long season. I hit it hard and found some holes today -- Bingo! -- 5 hits in 6 tries! But my hits are not the big thing in the game. The victory is the important thing. That's the story." At the end of the game Murphy had collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. He was happy. He had a big day with the bat. And the Moonshiners had won. The beat writers were happy, too. They had their big story -- they could write about his big day with the bat. A. Murphy grounded out in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th, hit an RBI double in the 8th, walked in the 11th and hit an RBI triple in the 13th. This season Murphy has banged out 117 hits in 325 at-bats for a .360 average with 2 home runs. He is getting on base at a .384 pace and his totals also include 41 RBIs and 41 runs scored. |
