5-Hit Blitz by Lamoine's Rivera Tuesday, July 11th , 2084 Lamoine second baseman Nelson Rivera could do no wrong in his team's 8-6 win over the Crawdads, as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Crawdads skipper said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Rivera agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game. "Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready." Nelson Rivera singled in the 2nd, grounded out in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Kyle Curtis in the 8th, singled in the 9th and hit a two-run home run off Myung-bak Hyong in the 11th. In this current campaign Rivera is hitting at a .256 clip with 11 home runs and 41 RBIs. View Boxscore |
