 | Buckley Strokes 5 Hits Wednesday, April 5th , 2045 Dustin Buckley put on a hitting clinic as the Columbus HS A's dumped the León HS Bulldogs, 11-10, at A's Park. The Columbus HS right fielder made León HS defenders earn their pay, lashing León HS pitching for 5 hits in 7 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Buckley said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Dustin Buckley hit an RBI single in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Alex Trevino in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, struck out in the 6th, grounded out in the 8th, singled in the 11th and hit a solo-shot off Jose Flores in the 13th. In 23 games this season, Buckley is batting .289 with 26 hits and 8 home runs. He has scored 24 runs and driven in 18. |   |
