Big Day for López: Swats 5 Hits Saturday, June 22nd, 2115 It doesn't happen very often, but it did for Norberto López today -- a 5-hit effort. He went on a rampage at Estadio Briceño and paced the Toucans to a 11-5 win over the Puerto Plata Taimascaros. After his dynamite batting performance, the Porto Alegre shortstop told reporters that he "just tried to get in a good count and have a good at-bat. That's all I can control." His philosophy paid dividends today. He slammed 5 hits in 5 tries and put his name in the record book. Norberto López singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, walked in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Esteban Valentín in the 8th. During the current season López is batting at a .315 clip with 9 home runs and 32 RBIs. He has played in 73 games and scored 57 times. |
