Pineda Batters Newton Falls for 5 Hits Tuesday, July 30th , 2058 Providence first baseman Alfonso Pineda could do no wrong in today's 6-2 win over the Flying Tigers as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Flying Tigers skipper Curt Blackburn said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Pineda 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." Alfonso Pineda singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Vicente Guzmán in the 7th and doubled in the 9th. For the year Pineda has hit at a .280 clip with 38 RBIs, 6 home runs and 46 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log |
