5-Hit Game for Vásquez Saturday, May 16th , 2054 Hartford second baseman Raúl Vásquez could do no wrong in his team's 13-7 win over the Cardinals, as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Cardinals skipper Ron Walters said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Vásquez 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." Raúl Vásquez doubled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off José Flores in the 3rd, singled in the 5th and singled in the 7th. So far this year, Vásquez has 14 home runs and a .364 batting average. View Boxscore View Game Log |
