Great Stroke: Duarte Gets 5 Hits Saturday, June 4th , 2078 It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-6 day. For many, it might come around only once in a career -- and for Eddie Duarte, it came around today. The 22-year-old third baseman scattered hits all over Rifles Stadium to pace the 6-5 Murfreesboro Rifles victory over the Madison Sky Warriors. Madison skipper told reporters in the press room that "Duarte deserves a hat-tip." "He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Duarte hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit." Eddie Duarte hit an RBI double in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Gerardo Vega in the 7th, grounded out in the 9th and singled in the 11th. Duarte is currently batting .376 with 10 home runs and 23 RBIs. View Boxscore |
