5-Hit Blitz by Alcantara Wednesday, June 3rd , 2026 South Bend center fielder Derik Alcantara could do no wrong in his team's 16-10 win over the Kernels, as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Kernels skipper Freddy Galvis said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Alcantara 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." Derik Alcantara flied out in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, struck out in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, singled in the 7th, singled in the 9th and hit a three-run double in the 10th. This season, Alcantara is batting .267 with 4 home runs. He has scored 22 runs and driven in 19. View Boxscore |
