 | Tuesday, August 4th, 2054: Gonzáles Belts 5 Hits!
5 times is a charm -- at least in the world of baseball. When a player gets 5 or more hits in a game, he is honored in the record book. The latest honoree is José Gonzáles of the Newport Harbormen.
Today he beat up their pitching to the tune of 5 hits in 5 at-bats, but it was the Flagstaff Scorpions that salvaged a 8-7 victory at Harbormen Ballpark.
"Gonzáles was a tough out today," the Flagstaff manager said to the press in the postgame interview. "He hit some very good pitches with that quick bat of his. Not an easy out, that's for sure. I'm just glad we held everybody else in check and got the win."
Speaking to the SION writers, Gonzáles added, "It was a real good day for me individually, but not a good one for the team. No loss is a good one."
J. Gonzáles singled in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, flied out in the 6th, singled in the 8th, singled in the 11th and hit a two-run home run off A. Mathews in the 13th.
This season Gonzáles is hitting at a .202 pace with 14 home runs, 47 RBIs and has scored 44 times.
