Alamdar 5-5 for New Orleans Sunday, April 24th, 2022 It was a good day for the San Angelo Mustangs as they dumped the New Orleans Jedi Knights 7-6 at The Republic. Despite the loss it was a remarkable day for Jedi Knights Abid Alamdar, who went on quite a hitting spree with a 5-for-5 barrage. The New Orleans center fielder told reporters afterward, "I have mixed emotions about this game. Getting 5 hits is really something special, but losing the ballgame spoils it to a certain extent. It's sort of like the feeling you get when your mother-in-law drives over a cliff in your new sports car." Quizzed by the press corps about his personal hitting theories, he responded, "I don't have any buzz words. I'm 'not dialed in' or 'in a zone,' as they say. As far as the hitting goes, I try to keep it simple ... try not to overthink it. I try not to look into it too much. Basically the pitcher throws the ball, I try to pick up the spin, then in a split-second decide to try to hit it. Today I picked up the spin very well." In 19 games this season Alamdar is batting .406 with 28 hits and 3 home runs. He has scored 17 runs and driven in 10. |
