Cháves on Fire: 5-5 for Amarillo Monday, August 16th, 2021 It was an almost perfect day. Amarillo center fielder Javier Cháves displayed a hot bat today, enjoying an outstanding 5-hit day. But something was missing -- the Horseman failed to win -- they lost to the South Bay Arsenal 13-8. "Some days, Lady Luck is on your side, some days she's not," he modestly told BNN reporters after the game. His manager told the beat writers otherwise, "His hitting wasn't luck today. It's his solid approach to hitting. Javier is focused, patient and he hits to all fields. The more solid at-bats you put together, the more success you're going to have, and vice versa." The 26-year-old center fielder for the Horseman collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats to get his name in the record book. Javier Cháves hit an RBI single in the 1st, hit a two-run single in the 2nd, doubled in the 5th, doubled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and walked in the 9th. For the year Cháves is batting .350 with 85 hits and 5 home runs. He has scored 50 times and driven in 32. |
