Ferniz Belts Bunch of Base Hits Sunday, August 20th , 2023 A jubilant Chance Ferniz joined the postgame press conference at Municipal Stadium today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Hagerstown Suns pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Asheville Tourists second baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led the Tourists to a 4-1 win. "He made it look easy," said Bobby Wilson, manager of the Suns. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Chance Ferniz singled in the 1st, singled in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Alvaro Mejias in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit a two-run home run off Manuel Rivera in the 10th. This season Ferniz has hit 11 home runs and posted a .249 batting average. View Boxscore |
