Poppell Tags Pirates for 6 Hits Saturday, May 16th , 2026 A jubilant Broedy Poppell joined the postgame press conference at Sluggers Ballpark to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Clearwater Beach Pirates pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Shreveport Captains catcher, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 6-for-6 hitting performance, which led to the 15-5 Captains win. "He made it look easy," said , manager of the Pirates. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Broedy Poppell singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, hit a two-run single in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 8th. Poppell is currently batting .462 with 3 home runs, 11 runs scored and 9 RBIs. His OBP is .543. View Boxscore |
