Hit Parade: Vazquez Pops 5 Hits Sunday, June 26th , 2078 Willie Vazquez was on quite a roll as he knocked the ball all over Bison Stadium, collecting 5 hits. His day of glory wasn't able to win the game, however. The Buffalo Rangers got the 7-6 victory over the Montreal Harfangs. "I never realized that a few hits could cause so much commotion," the left fielder said in the clubhouse after the game, crowded by reporters. "Headlines and highlights are great, but it takes a lot of luster off it that we lost." After his first couple of hits, all eyes in the ballpark were on him each time Vazquez stepped into the batter's box. Even some opposing fans were pulling for him, knowing they were watching a little slice of league history unfold. When asked what the secret of hitting so well is, he smiled and said "relax, concentrate, and hit the ball where they ain't." That's exactly what he did, as Vazquez finished the game with 5 hits in 7 at-bats and a line in the record book. Willie Vazquez grounded out in the 2nd, flied out in the 5th, singled in the 7th, singled in the 8th, singled in the 11th, singled in the 13th and singled in the 15th. Vazquez has collected 7 hits for the Harfangs this year, 0 of them home runs. He has also netted 3 RBIs and scored 3 runs while batting .212. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
