In the top of the third inning, with no outs and a runner on first, Jung Hoo Lee recorded a hit with San Francisco leading St. Louis 3-1. The hit was a double, and Lee scored on a subsequent RBI single. Although it was his only hit of the game, it marked his 30th double of the season.
Confirmed Change: 1-for-5 Performance and His 30th Double of the Season
Jung Hoo Lee’s final batting line against the St. Louis Cardinals was 1-for-5 with one run scored. At the game level, that means he recorded one hit; at the season level, his total reached 30 doubles. These two records refer to different scopes. Going 1-for-5 describes the result of that game, while the 30th double of the season describes the place that hit holds in his cumulative extra-base-hit record.
Current Status: Batting Average at .276 After the Game
After the game, Lee’s season statistics stood at 145 hits in 525 at-bats, for a .276 batting average. The fact that he hit a double and the result that his season batting average fell slightly can both be confirmed. Therefore, his 30th double should not be interpreted as an increase in his batting average. The confirmed changes from this game are that his season total reached 30 doubles and that his postgame batting average was recorded at .276.
Confirmed Scope and Impact: Personal and Team Results Should Be Viewed Separately
