He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run and one RBI.
Haggerty wasn't the only one making solid contact as eight players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Drew Algava, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base and one run. That stolen base was Algava's first of the season.
