Super Swinger -- Rothenberg Slams 5 Hits Sunday, March 29th , 1953 Jacques Rothenberg put on a hitting clinic as the Toronto High School Pilots dumped the Boston Central High School Saints, 13-10, at Saints Park. The Toronto High School shortstop made Boston Central High School defenders earn their pay, lashing Boston Central High School pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Rothenberg said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Jacques Rothenberg singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, doubled in the 6th, walked in a run in the 7th and doubled in the 9th. For the year, Rothenberg is batting .326 with 2 home runs, 14 RBIs and 18 runs scored. |
