Lake Monsters Mitchell Smacks 5 Hits Friday, June 2nd , 2062 A jubilant Fred Mitchell joined the postgame press conference at Billy Mathews Field to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the St. Petersburg Pelicans pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Okanagan Lake Monsters shortstop, "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 to the 10-2 Lake Monsters win. "He made it look easy," said Gilbert Drader, manager of the Pelicans. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Fred Mitchell singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, doubled in the 7th and struck out in the 9th. So far this year, Mitchell is batting .273 with 4 home runs and 28 RBIs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
