Kyle Skipworth's 2009 Game to Remember
Skipworth homered twice, the first multi-home run game of his young career, to lead Greensboro over Hickory 7-6. In the bottom of the fourth, Skipworth homered off Crawdads righthander Wilfredo Boscan, the first home run Boscan has given up to a lefthanded batter all sesaon.
Later, with the game tied 5-5 in the bottom of the seventh, Skipworth belted what proved to be the game-winning two-run home run to right field off reliever Jake Brigham. The shot was his seventh of the season.
"I wasn’t trying to hit a home run," Skipworth told the Greensboro News-Record about the homer off Boscan. "I was just trying not to pull off and stay through some pitches in case I got a changeup. Lucky I got a fastball and he got it up. I got out on the front part of my swing and it carried. It was nice to get the first one and get a quality at-bat off a guy who was throwing good."
