Gómez Sizzles -- Smokes Quemados for 5 Hits Monday, July 24th , 1905 After a 5-hit effort to lead Salinas's 18-6 victory over the San Lorenzo Quemados, center fielder José Gómez told BNN beat writers it had been "a special day." "It really doesn't matter whether it's sandlot ball, high school or college, two hits in a game is nice," he said. "Three or four is better, but five or more is out of sight. And to do that at the Liga Veraniega de Principiantes-level is really something special." The 23-year-old player earned his accolades at Parquecito de Salinas with a spectacular 5-for-5 game against the Quemados. "His swing is getting there," said Olimpicos skipper Benicio González, who spoke glowingly of Gómez after the game. "We want him to be quick with his swing, short and compact. We want him to be patient and go the other way when he can. José did that to perfection." José Gómez singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, was hit by a pitch in the 6th, walked in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 8th. This season, Gómez has 1 home run and a .327 batting average. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
