Monday 8/22/1996: Jim Lindeman uncorks five hits against Colorado
COLORADO - 'You know, in batting practice I didn't really feel that comfortable about my stroke today, but baseball is more than hitting. Then, when you're not trying to force a hit, you slug them in droves,' says Jim Lindeman after his 5 hit game, which San Diego won 23-0 against Colorado. His 1st hit, a solo homerun off Chan Ho Park in the 1st inning, cleared the fence in left field. A pitch from Chan Ho Park in the 3rd inning left his bat for a two-run homerun, landing 386 feet from home plate in left field. He collected singles in the 3rd , in the 5th inning and in the 9th inning (two RBIs). Jim did drive in 5 while scoring 3 runs on his own. His 5 hit performance increases his batting average to .249.
