Red-Hot Ortíz Scorches 76ers Wednesday, April 21st, 2038 H.H. Dow HS second baseman Francisco Ortíz could do no wrong in today's 5-4 win over the 76ers as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," 76ers skipper Jason Hargrove said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Ortíz 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." Francisco Ortíz doubled in the 1st, flied out in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 10th. This year Ortíz is hitting .245 with 2 home runs and 12 RBIs in 24 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .308 with 9 walks and 14 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log |
