Big Day for Preston: Swats 5 Hits Wednesday, April 20th , 2050 It wasn't just another day at the ballpark for Gene Preston. Preston went on a tear and cracked hit after hit off Sacramento pitchers. When the dust settled on the diamond at Pelicans Park, he had a 5-for-6 line and a day he will long remember. And the Albany Jokers had a win, 14-1, over the Spartans. "Yeah, it'll be something nice to tell the grandkids, but it won't get me a hit tomorrow," he joked in the postgame interview. Gene Preston hit a solo-shot off Howard Hill in the 2nd, grounded out in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, doubled in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Will Huffer in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th. This year, Preston is hitting at a .310 pace with 2 home runs and 4 RBIs. He has played in 8 games and scored 5 times. |
