Averett 5-for-5 for Hurricanes Sunday, February 25th , 2052 A jubilant Juan Jose Averett joined the postgame press conference at Whales Bay Park today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Bogota Whales pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Havana Hurricanes third 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-5 hitting performance, which led the Hurricanes to a 16-3 win. "He made it look easy," said Pedro Alou, manager of the Whales. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Juan Jose Averett singled in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Tim Binczyk in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off José Aguilar in the 9th. This year Averett has 9 home runs and a .222 batting average. View Boxscore View Game Log |
