Ayala 5-for-5 for Monarchs Tuesday, May 23rd, 2034 António Ayala put on a hitting clinic today as the Marysville Monarchs dumped the Buzzard's Bay Beetlecats 10-3 at Bloomfield Road. The Marysville third baseman made Buzzard's Bay defenders earn their pay, lashing Buzzard's Bay pitching for 5 hits in 5 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," Ayala said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." António Ayala singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Orlando Guzmán in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Takeo Takano in the 8th. This season Ayala has delivered 40 hits in 131 at-bats for a .305 average with 10 home runs. He is getting on base at a .439 clip and his totals also include 25 RBIs and 28 runs scored. This year Ayala has played in 34 games. View Boxscore View Game Log |
