5-for-6 Day for Encarnación Wednesday, July 12th, 2028 A jubilant Vincente Encarnación joined the postgame press conference at East End Park today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Portland Privateers pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Detroit X-Wings left 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 X-Wings to a 16-2 win. "He made it look easy," said Raúl Chávez, manager of the Privateers. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Vincente Encarnación doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit a two-run double in the 6th, doubled in the 8th and grounded out in the 9th. In 39 games this year Encarnación has posted a .291 average and put up these numbers: 2 home runs, 24 RBIs and 20 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log |
