Hit Parade: Valdez Pops 5 Hits
Thursday, April 29th, 2032
Seminole third baseman Nelson Valdez could do no wrong in today's 33-16 win over the Islanders as he collected 5 hits.
"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Islanders skipper Doug Taylor said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."
Valdez agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.
"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."
Nelson Valdez struck out in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, walked in the 7th, hit an RBI single in the 8th, hit a two-run double in the 8th and struck out in the 9th.
This year Valdez is batting .293 with 6 home runs and 35 RBIs. In 36 games he has scored 29 times.
