Robinson Tags Navigators for 5 Hits Monday, August 19th, 1996 Cliff Robinson told the press after his 5-hit day, "Every batter wants to have a quality at-bat every time he steps up to the plate. He wants to hit the ball hard." Well, that's just what Robinson of the Irondale Steelers did against the Newport Navigators. He went to the plate 5 times and 5 times he delivered base hits, But his club still suffered a 7-3 defeat. "Not much I can say," offered Robinson in the postgame press conference. "I got a bunch of hits, but it would have been much better to get a win. Can I trade 5 hits for the win?" Cliff Robinson singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This season Robinson has banged out 48 hits in 224 at-bats for a .214 average with 1 home run. He is getting on base at a .263 pace and his totals also include 13 RBIs and 20 runs scored. |
