Bandits Rivera Smacks 5 Hits Thursday, July 31st , 2064 Raul Rivera put on a hitting clinic as the Brownsville Bandits dumped the West Virginia Dancin' Outlaws, 13-4, at The Rain Forest. The Brownsville center fielder made West Virginia defenders earn their pay, lashing West Virginia pitching for 5 hits in 6 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Rivera said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Raul Rivera tripled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, struck out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th. For the season, Rivera is currently batting .271 with 12 home runs and 36 RBIs. In 67 games he has reached base at a .419 rate and scored 65 runs to date. View Boxscore View Game Log |
