 | Monday, June 23rd, 2014: Great Stroke! Kelley Gets 5 Hits! It was a big day with the bat for Dustin Kelley of the Ashland Ironclads at Ballpark of Ashland as he bashed out hit after hit after hit to defeat Garland 16-10. 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 Kelley 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 Ironclads had won. The beat writers were happy, too. They had their big story -- they could write about his big day with the bat. D. Kelley flied out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 7th, hit a two-run single in the 8th and hit a three-run home run off A. Carpenter in the 8th. Kelley has a .315 average and a .362 on-base percentage for the year. He has picked up 47 hits, 2 home runs and driven in 25 runs. |
