 | Thursday, August 13th, 2054: Pérez on Fire, 5-6 Against Burlington
Getting 5 hits in a game doesn't happen every day. Stillwater's Ricardo Pérez had a very special day against the Waterbeasts when everything came together for him. He really swung the bat with authority, getting 5 hits in 6 at-bats. However, it was Burlington that picked up the victory. They topped the Seals 13-11 at Stillwater Stadium.
"I'm just out there to try and help the team win," Pérez said after the game, "I had some real good at-bats today. I made good, solid contact and luckily no one caught 'em. I had a great day, but the loss kinda put a damper on the day."
Disappointed or not, he still gets his name written in the record books.
R. Pérez flied out in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit a three-run home run off H. González in the 9th.
This year Pérez is hitting .388 with 188 hits, 6 home runs, 65 RBIs and has scored 84 runs.
