FROM KEITH GROLLER
While August 27, 2011 may go down as one of the worst weather days ever on the East Coast, it will also be remembered by at least some local sports fans as the date that Catasauqua High graduate Anthony Recker collected his first big-league hit.
Recker singled to left to start the fifth inning in Game 2 of the Oakland-Boston twin bill at Fenway Park. Boston swept both games 9-3 and 4-0.
Recker finished the night 1-for-3, and 1-for-7 in his big-league career. He had one of three Oakland hits in the game, collecting his hit off Boston's lefty starter Erik Bedard.
Recker, batting ninth in the Oakland order, flew out to center in his first at-bat against Bedard and then again flew to center while facing reliever Alfredo Aceves in the seventh.
At least Recker, who struck out three times in his debut against the Yankees, did not strike out.
Oakland is now 3-3 since Recker joined the team on Tuesday in New York. The A's continue their road trip with a three-game series in Cleveland starting on Monday night.
