Herrera on Fire: 5-for-5 for Atlanta (R) Tuesday, July 9th , 2024 Atlanta (R) third baseman Bobby Herrera could do no wrong today, but the Pilots could. Herrera collected 5 hits against the Boston (R) Shamrocks, but he couldn't win the game. Atlanta (R) fell, 12-11, in extra innings at PBC Rookie Development Complex. "It's a shame we didn't win," Herrera said later. "It would have been a very special day if that had happened." "In every one of his at-bats, things were in his favor," Shamrocks manager Alan Reid said. "We couldn't keep him from getting ahead in the count and once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get better pitches to hit." Bobby Herrera walked in the 1st, doubled in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Edgar Benitez in the 6th, singled in the 7th, singled in the 9th and hit an RBI double in the 11th. This season, Herrera is swinging the bat at a .455 pace. He has hit 8 home runs and scored 20 times, while driving in 31. His on-base percentage is .534 and he has played in 23 games. View Boxscore |
