 | Knoll Torches Cardinals for 5 Hits Wednesday, February 16th, 1972 Texas Tech shortstop Ryan Knoll could do no wrong in today's 19-11 win over the Cardinals as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Cardinals skipper said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Knoll agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game. "Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready." Ryan Knoll singled in the 2nd, flied out in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Dave Gilmore in the 7th and singled in the 8th. A look at his season totals shows Knoll with 1 home run, .216 BA, .326 OBP, 12 RBIs and 10 runs scored. View Boxscore |   |
