5-Hit Blitz by Moscow's Salazar Tuesday, May 21st , 2052 A jubilant Jose Salazar joined the postgame press conference at Las vegas Ballpark to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Flagstaff Skyhawks pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Moscow Mules 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 to the 5-4 Mules win. "He made it look easy," said Tony Ballerini, manager of the Skyhawks. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Jose Salazar doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 8th and doubled in the 11th. This season, Salazar is hitting .333 with 3 home runs. View Boxscore |
