Rivas 5-for-6 for Altoona
Kevin Rivas put on a hitting clinic as the Altoona Curve dumped the Richmond Flying Squirrels, 14-2, at The Diamond.

The Altoona third baseman made Richmond defenders earn their pay, lashing Richmond pitching for 5 hits in 6 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it."

"Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Rivas said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Kevin Rivas struck out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Cole Waites in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

In this current campaign Rivas is hitting at a .262 clip with 5 home runs and 39 RBIs.
