Gordon Rips Bradenton for 5 Hits Thursday, August 28th , 2098 It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-5 day. For many, it might come around only once in a career -- and for Tyler Gordon, it came around today. The 26-year-old center fielder scattered hits all over Calvin Falwell Field to pace the Brevard County Manatees to a 6-4 victory over the Bradenton Marauders. Bradenton skipper Rob Suleymanov told reporters in the press room that "Gordon deserves a hat-tip." "He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Gordon hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit." Tyler Gordon singled in the 2nd, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Chris Stagg in the 7th and singled in the 9th. So far on the season Gordon is hitting .375 with 1 home run, 2 RBIs and 5 runs scored. He has 9 hits and played in 6 games. View Boxscore View Game Log |
