Fernandez Strokes 5 Hits Friday, October 8th , 2066 A jubilant Jorge Fernandez joined the postgame press conference at Todd Berry Memorial Field today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Illinois Warhawks pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Texas Outlaws 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 Outlaws to a 13-2 win. "He made it look easy," said Steven Luker, manager of the Warhawks. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Jorge Fernandez singled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit a three-run triple in the 7th and walked in the 9th. This season Fernandez is batting .293 with no home runs. He has scored 38 runs and driven in 24. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
