Baker 5-for-6 Against Beach Dogs Friday, June 23rd , 2051 A jubilant Eugene Baker joined the postgame press conference at Marshall Field at Carter Stadium today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Destin Beach Dogs pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Washington DC Hot Sauce first baseman, "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 the Hot Sauce to a 22-10 win. "He made it look easy," said Bernardo Hernández, manager of the Beach Dogs. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Eugene Baker grounded out in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off John Fann in the 7th and hit an RBI double in the 8th. This year Baker is batting .371 with 12 home runs and 54 RBIs. In 57 games he has scored 39 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |
