| Breaking News |  | Tuesday, August 14th, 2007: Shabala Goes 5-5 Against Wichita
After the Lino Lakes 2-1 victory over Wichita and his 5-hit day left fielder Adam Shabala told SION beat writers, "It really doesn't matter whether it's sandlot ball, high school or college ball, two hits in a game is very good...three or four hits even better...5 or more are out of sight...and if it is in pro ball...it is really something special. It will get you in the record books."
The 29-year-old player gained that distinction today at Shooting Stars Ballpark with a spectacular 5 for 5 game against the Wichita Prowlers.
The skipper of the Shooting Stars spoke glowingly of Shabala, telling SION writers, "His swing is getting there. We want him to be quick with his swing, short and compact. We want him to be patient and go the other way when he can. Adam did that to perfection today."
A. Shabala singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th, was hit by a pitch in the 9th and hit a solo-shot off J. Unknown in the 11th.
In 2007 Shabala is batting .355 with 8 home runs and 39 RBIs. |
