During a player's career, there are days that stand out, and this day was definitely special! Jin-u An went 5 for 6 against the Asheville Tourists at Ballpark of Columbus and the Catfish picked up a 18-3 victory.
He exclaimed, "What a day! We win and I get 5 hits! Couldn't be better!" The delighted center fielder was really enjoying the happiness of the moment in the press room.
"He was patient up there today," the Columbus skipper told the press after the game. "I like the way he waited for his pitch and wasn't overly agressive. An has a tendency to go after some bad balls sometimes."
J. An doubled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, grounded out in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off M. King in the 8th.
