Super Swinger -- Muthukaruppan Slams 5 Hits Saturday, June 16th, 2131 A jubilant Kanakarasa Muthukaruppan joined the postgame press conference at Caguas Grounds today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Plano Rancheros pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Caguas Coqui shortstop, "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-5 hitting performance, which led the Coqui to a 14-4 win. "He made it look easy," said , manager of the Rancheros. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Kanakarasa Muthukaruppan hit an RBI double in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a two-run single in the 6th and hit a two-run single in the 6th. Muthukaruppan is hitting .322 so far this season with 31 RBIs and 35 runs scored. He has 82 hits including no home runs, 11 walks and .353 OBP. |
