Padilla on Fire, 5-for-7 Against Colorado Springs
Friday, June 13th , 2053
5 hits in a game is generally considered a noteworthy achievement, but for Jose Padilla, it felt rather hollow.
The 18-year-old went 5-for-7 at the plate at Ballpark of Colorado Springs, but his Sapporo Sea Eagles fell to the Colorado Springs Generals, 19-18.
"It's hard to get too excited," the center fielder told BNN following the game. "After a game like this, everyone's quiet and they just want to go home."
Jose Padilla singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Luis Caraballo in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and grounded out in the 8th.
This year, Padilla is hitting .361 with 3 home runs and 26 RBIs in 43 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .447 with 22 walks and 33 runs scored.
