| Breaking News |  | Tuesday, September 23rd, 2014: Big Day with Bat, McGee 5-6
It wasn't just another day at the ballpark for Bill McGee. It was very special day, one that many players never experience. But he did. McGee went on a tear and cracked hit after hit off Wicker Park pitching.
When the dust settled on the diamond at The Litter Box, he had a career 5-6 day and something he will long remember. And the Muir Meercats had a 16-3 victory over the Devil Cats.
"Yeah, it'll be something nice to tell the grandkids, but it won't get me a hit tomorrow," he laughed in the SION postgame interview.
B. McGee singled in the 1st, struck out in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off E. Lopez in the 8th.
This season in 127 games McGee is batting .330 with 21 home runs, 112 RBIs and has scored 84 times.
