Herrera on Fire: 5-for-5 for Washington State Thursday, May 4th , 2051 Even as a kid, Gordon Herrera said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Bailey-Brayton Field today, Herrera showed how well he learned that lesson. The 19-year-old first baseman had 5 hits in 5 at-bats for the Washington State Cougars, helping his team knock off the Penn State Nittany Lions by a score of 10-6. "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 today." Gordon Herrera doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 7th and doubled in the 8th. Herrera is hitting .382 so far this season with 25 RBIs and 24 runs scored. He has 55 hits including 5 home runs, 17 walks and .455 OBP. View Boxscore View Game Log |
