5-Hit Blitz by León Friday, September 6th, 1991 Fort Knox Gold center fielder José León had a day to remember at Volunteers Ballpark today, ripping apart the Arlington Heights Volunteers and sparking the Gold to a 16-4 victory. León wrote his name in the record books with a 5-hit barrage, finishing his special day 5-for-5. "I'm usually a first ball hitter," León told BNN reporters in the postgame press conference. "I think pitchers think batters are going to let the first one go by. I never do. I've always found that it's better to pull the trigger early in the count. Pitchers get real nasty when they get ahead of you, so I try to avoid it." José León doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th and hit an RBI single in the 7th. Thus far in 1991 León is hitting .242 with 2 home runs, 15 RBIs, 26 runs scored and has compiled a .333 OBP. |
