Avalos Smacks 5 Hits for Kings Wednesday, May 17th , 2079 A jubilant Marty Avalos joined the postgame press conference at Ballpark of Louisa to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Norfolk Thorns pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Baton Rouge Kings third baseman, "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 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led to the 10-8 Kings win. "He made it look easy," said , manager of the Thorns. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Marty Avalos hit a solo-shot off Josh Trejo in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, doubled in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off Yo Ya in the 8th. Avalos is currently batting .262 with 7 home runs and 24 RBIs. View Boxscore |
