Great Stroke: Benítez Gets 5 Hits
Sunday, August 1st, 2021
"Ever since I picked up my first bat my coaches were always saying to keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing... just make contact and ya never know what'll happen," Carson City's Jorge Benítez told reporters after the game. "That's all I did today. I made contact and it turned out well." It definitely turned out well for Benítez today as he collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats against Ottawa. It turned out well for his team, too, as the Mustang knocked off the Outlaws 11-2 at Parliament Field. Jorge Benítez hit an RBI double in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, hit a two-run single in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.
This season Benítez is batting .326 with 3 home runs. He has scored 49 runs and driven in 37.
