Hit Parade: Cheng Pops 5 Hits Friday, June 3rd , 2140 A jubilant Tia Cheng joined the postgame press conference at Foxes Ballpark today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Canberra Comets pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Bochum Foxes first baseman, "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 the Foxes to a 4-3 win. "He made it look easy," said , manager of the Comets. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Tia Cheng doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, grounded out in the 7th, singled in the 8th, singled in the 11th, flied out in the 13th, struck out in the 16th and hit an RBI single in the 18th. Cheng on the season is hitting .289 with no home runs. His stats include 18 RBIs and 6 runs scored. |
