Minoru Socks it to Blues, Cracks 5 Hits Tuesday, May 3rd , 2050 Sachi Minoru knows as well as anyone that in baseball, the biggest contracts go to the biggest hitters. At St. Louis Ballpark today, he made his case to be considered among that group. The 17-year-old first baseman hammered 5 hits in 5 chances, though the remarkable effort came even as his Kirbyville HS Drillers fell, 9-8, to the St. Louis HS Blues. "We made some bad pitches and he took advantage of it," Blues manager told BNN sportswriters after the game. "Thankfully, we were able to do enough elsewhere that Minoru wasn't the difference." Sachi Minoru singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit a two-run single in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This year Minoru is batting .430 with 49 hits, 4 home runs, 26 RBIs, 19 walks, .511 OBP and has scored 33 runs. View Boxscore |
