Big Day for Castillo: Swats 5 Hits
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2031
Jesús Castillo put on a hitting clinic today as the Boise Hawks dumped the Riverside Red Bulls 6-5 at Basque Block Field.
The Boise right fielder made Riverside defenders earn their pay, lashing Riverside pitching for 5 hits in 7 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it."
"Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Castillo said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."
Jesús Castillo singled in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, struck out in the 7th, hit a solo-shot off Kevin Spurr in the 9th, singled in the 11th and singled in the 13th.
In 13 games this season Castillo is batting .291 with 16 hits and 2 home runs. He has scored 11 runs and driven in 6.
