Oliva Belts 5 Hits Saturday, June 25th , 2050 Long Beach center fielder Will Oliva could do no wrong in his team's 6-5 win over the Ranas, as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Ranas skipper Alfonso Rivera said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Oliva agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game. "Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready." Will Oliva doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, struck out in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 7th, flied out in the 8th, doubled in the 11th and flied out in the 13th.
