Breaking News | | Sunday, July 8th, 2035: 5 Hits for Mariners Walsh "It was like I was hitting little league pitching," said Bryan Walsh after his 5-hit performance against the Giants. "No offense meant to San Francisco, but I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Kingdome / Safeco Field!"
The Seattle right fielder had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 6 at-bats and pacing his club to a 16-13 victory.
His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Bryan worked the entire offseason on trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball and the hard work is paying off in base hits."
"That's what I'm trying to do," Walsh said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it."
B. Walsh flied out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off M. Biron in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off P. Arnold in the 8th.
