 | Big Day with Bat: Ruíz 5-for-7 Tuesday, December 10th, 2041 Ángel Ruíz put on a hitting clinic today as the Gainesville Nine dumped the Niceville Pikemen 19-2 at Rafters Ballpark. The Gainesville center fielder made Niceville defenders earn their pay, lashing Niceville pitching for 5 hits in 7 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," Ruíz said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Ángel Ruíz struck out in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 5th, struck out in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This year Ruíz has hit at a .450 pace and produced 5 RBIs, 2 home runs and scored 11 runs. View Boxscore View Game Log |   |
