Wittwer Raps Media Luna for 5 Hits Thursday, October 2nd , 2064 Ricky Wittwer knows as well as anyone that in baseball, the biggest contracts go to the biggest hitters. At Rattlers Field, he made his case to be considered among that group. The 19-year-old shortstop hammered 5 hits in 5 chances, though the remarkable effort came even as his Mojave Rattlers fell, 13-9, to the Media Luna Marlins. "We made some bad pitches and he took advantage of it," Marlins manager Victor Garro told BNN sportswriters after the game. "Thankfully, we were able to do enough elsewhere that Wittwer wasn't the difference." Ricky Wittwer singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This season, Wittwer has banged out 64 hits in 252 at-bats for a .254 average with 5 home runs. He is getting on base at a .351 pace and his totals also include 33 RBIs and 24 runs scored.
