Khaskheli Goes 5-for-5 Sunday, May 1st , 2135 Even as a kid, Rao Khaskheli said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Ballpark of Olympia today, Khaskheli showed how well he learned that lesson. The 24-year-old third baseman had 5 hits in 5 at-bats for the Long Beach Stars, helping his team knock off the Grand Junction Royals by a score of 4-3. "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." Rao Khaskheli singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 10th. This season in 18 games Khaskheli is batting .423 with no home runs, 1 RBIs and has scored 3 times. |
