Big Day for Hinojosa: Swats 5 Hits
Sunday, July 12th , 2065
A jubilant Francisco Hinojosa joined the postgame press conference at Kings Palace today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Greensboro Green Sox pitching staff he had just vanquished.
"It may not have looked like it," said the Montgomery Kings center fielder, "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-6 hitting performance, which led the Kings to a 16-1 win.
"He made it look easy," said , manager of the Green Sox. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."
Francisco Hinojosa singled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Andy Prussia in the 2nd, tripled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, struck out in the 7th and hit a three-run triple in the 8th.
This season Hinojosa is batting .396 with 3 home runs. He has scored 33 runs and driven in 32.
