5-Hit Blitz by Sapporo's Gutierrez
Tuesday, May 18th , 2049
Christian Gutierrez told the press after his 5-hit day, "Every batter wants to have a quality at-bat every time he steps up to the plate. He wants to hit the ball hard."
Well, that's just what Gutierrez of the Sapporo Sea Eagles did against the Grosse Pointe Better Mades. He went to the plate 5 times and 5 times he delivered base hits, but his club still suffered a defeat, 11-8.
"Not much I can say," offered Gutierrez in the postgame press conference. "I got a bunch of hits, but it would have been much better to get a win. Can I trade 5 hits for the win?"
Christian Gutierrez singled in the 1st, walked in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run single in the 8th.
This year, Gutierrez is batting .348 with no home runs. He has scored 4 runs and driven in 3.
