 | Saturday, August 5th, 1950: Jones Struts Stuff in San Bernadino Win

 | Saturday, July 22nd, 1950: Parker Bashes 5 Base Hits
It was a big day with the bat for Shane Parker of the Wheeling Ironmen at The Forge as he bashed out hit after hit after hit to defeat Greenfield 4-3.
To the press after the ballgame he modestly said, "Guys, it's just one game in a long season. I hit it hard and found some holes today -- Bingo! -- 5 hits in 7 tries! But my hits are not the big thing in the game. The victory is the important thing. That's the story."
At the end of the game Parker had collected 5 hits in 7 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. He was happy. He had a big day with the bat. And the Ironmen had won.
The beat writers were happy, too. They had their big story -- they could write about his big day with the bat.
S. Parker grounded out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off J. Unknown in the 4th, flied out in the 6th, singled in the 9th, singled in the 11th and hit a solo-shot off B. O'Rourke in the 14th.
This year Parker has hit at a .348 clip with 39 hits, 4 home runs, 16 RBIs and 21 runs scored.
