News: Church One Step Closer

by Matthew Cerrone on June 27th, 2008 at 8:41 am

Mets OF Ryan Church played five innings and went 3 for 3 with a double Thursday in a rehab assignment with Single-A Brooklyn.

Church started in right field, but did not have a ball hit to him.

As he expected, Church experienced mild leg soreness following the game, and is scheduled to play for Brooklyn again tonight.

my hunch is that we’ll see church back with the Mets tomorrow, but that is totally a hunch, and hope

Church, talking to reporters about his style of play, following the game, said:

“I’m going to continue to go all out.  I mean, that’s what got me here…I’m not gonna change a thing.  I’ll probably just be a little smarter, you know, with the slides around the bag and stuff like that, crashing in to walls, but other than than I’m not gonna let down at all because that’s just not me.”
