5-for-6 Day for Giard Thursday, April 21st , 2050 Even as a kid, Mike Giard said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Cougars Field, Giard showed how well he learned that lesson. The 24-year-old left fielder had 5 hits in 6 at-bats for the Fargo Ambush, helping his team knock off the Bell Center Bucks by a score of 15-5. "They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did." Mike Giard singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, doubled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th. To date Giard has chalked up a .410 average with 2 home runs, driven in 7 runs and scored 11 times. |
