Red-Hot Hidalgo Scorches Claws Tuesday, June 20th , 2051 A jubilant Carlos Hidalgo joined the postgame press conference at Claws Ballpark to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Cork Claws pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Pueto Rico Ranas second 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 14-11 Ranas win. "He made it look easy," said John Williams, manager of the Claws. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Carlos Hidalgo was hit by a pitch in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and walked in the 9th. This year, Hidalgo has hit at a .288 pace and produced 12 RBIs, 2 home runs and scored 29 runs. View Boxscore |
