5-for-6 Day for Lara Thursday, April 28th, 2033 A jubilant Héctor Lara joined the postgame press conference at Central Park Downtown Stadium today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Columbus Aces pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Mile High Mustangs left fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led the Mustangs to a 11-10 win. "He made it look easy," said Chris Schell, manager of the Aces. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Héctor Lara singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 8th, struck out in the 10th and hit a two-run home run off Thomas Wright in the 12th. Looking at his present stats, Lara has compiled a .250 batting average in 14 games with a .310 on-base percentage, while hitting 5 home runs and driving in 12 runs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
