Great Day for Zambrana -- 5 Hits
Ruben Zambrana put on a hitting clinic as the Houston Sting dumped the St. Petersburg Pelicans, 13-0, at Billy Mathews Field.

The Houston catcher made St. Petersburg defenders earn their pay, lashing St. Petersburg pitching for 5 hits in 6 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," Zambrana said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Ruben Zambrana singled in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Alex Gurule in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Alex Gurule in the 4th, struck out in the 6th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.

Thus far this year, Zambrana has hit .295 with 7 home runs and 25 RBIs.
