Dillard Cracks 5 Hits Friday, May 22nd , 2048 Even as a kid, Gene Dillard said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Nogales Grounds, Dillard showed how well he learned that lesson. The 20-year-old right fielder had 5 hits in 6 at-bats for the Melbourne Aces, helping his team knock off the Nogales Nómadas del Sol by a score of 13-6. "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." Gene Dillard flied out in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI triple in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This year, Dillard is hitting .393 with 4 home runs. View Boxscore |
