Albert Bashes 5 Base Hits Monday, April 3rd , 2062 Victoria first baseman Merrill Albert could do no wrong in his team's 12-7 win over the Monarchs, as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Monarchs skipper Lúcio Sánchez said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Albert 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." Merrill Albert flied out in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a two-run double in the 6th and singled in the 8th. Thus far in 2062, Albert is hitting .312 with 4 home runs, 26 RBIs, 28 runs scored and has compiled a .453 OBP. View Boxscore View Game Log |
