5-Hit Barrage by Fein Friday, July 22nd , 2044 A jubilant Chris Fein joined the postgame press conference at Peoria Sports Complex to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Oakland (AZL) Athletics Gold pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the San Diego (AZL) Padres 2 center fielder, "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-8 hitting performance, which led to the 6-5 Padres 2 win. "He made it look easy," said Brandon McCabe, manager of the Athletics Gold. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Chris Fein singled in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, struck out in the 5th, doubled in the 7th, walked in the 9th, doubled in the 10th, grounded out in the 12th, singled in the 14th and hit a solo-shot off Hugo Ybarra in the 17th. This year, Fein is hitting at a .333 pace with 5 home runs and 22 RBIs. He has played in 31 games and scored 23 times. |
