Great Stroke: Kohlhepp Gets 5 Hits Sunday, August 25th , 2052 Even as a kid, Matt Kohlhepp said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Memorial Stadium, Kohlhepp showed how well he learned that lesson. The 27-year-old right fielder had 5 hits in 6 at-bats for the Omaha Steaks, helping his team knock off the Vung Tau Vipers by a score of 6-5. "They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did." Matt Kohlhepp singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, singled in the 8th, tripled in the 11th, walked in the 12th and singled in the 14th. Kohlhepp has collected 110 hits for the Steaks this year, 14 of them home runs. He has also netted 55 RBIs and scored 59 runs while batting .334. View Boxscore |
