Best Raps Oil City for 5 Hits Friday, September 24th , 2010 John Best put on a hitting clinic as the St. Petersburg Pelicans dumped the Oil City Oilers, 5-2, at The Oil Field. The St. Petersburg right fielder made Oil City defenders earn their pay, lashing Oil City pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Best said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." John Best singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Juan Diaz in the 9th. To date Best has chalked up a .383 average with 5 home runs, driven in 12 runs and scored 16 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |
