5-Hit Game for Kapuller Thursday, May 19th , 1955 Even as a kid, Foma Kapuller said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Gales Fields, Kapuller showed how well he learned that lesson. The 26-year-old right fielder had 5 hits in 8 at-bats for the Budapest Brewers, helping his team knock off the Volgograd Owls by a score of 8-7. "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." Foma Kapuller singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, flied out in the 5th, singled in the 7th, struck out in the 9th, hit a solo-shot off Pavlov Nagavkin in the 11th, flied out in the 12th and hit an RBI single in the 14th. This season, Kapuller is batting .281 with 1 home run. He has scored 5 runs and driven in 5. View Boxscore |
