Santiago's Rivera Goes Ballistic with 5 Hits Saturday, August 22nd , 2150 It wasn't just another day at the ballpark for Felipe Rivera.

And the Santiago Caballeros had a win, 9-7, over the Coqui. "Yeah, it'll be something nice to tell the grandkids, but it won't get me a hit tomorrow," he joked in the postgame interview. Felipe Rivera singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 8th, flied out in the 10th and singled in the 12th. Rivera has collected 117 hits for the Caballeros this year, 18 of them home runs. He has also netted 72 RBIs and scored 56 runs while batting .292. |
