Montés Strokes 5 Hits Tuesday, May 9th, 2023 Athletic Club KC Academy center fielder António Montés could do no wrong as he collected 5 hits against Springfield, but he couldn't win the game. "It's a shame we didn't win. It would have been a very special day if that had happened. But it didn't. At least my batting average didn't take a plunge, too," he said. The Athletic Club KC Academy were beaten 8-4 at Springfield Stadium by the Shooters. "In every one of his at-bats, things were in his favor... he got hitter's counts," the skipper of the Shooters said to the press corps after the game. Montés agreed. "The key is getting ahead. Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit. You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready." António Montés singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 9th. This season Montés is batting .414 with no home runs. His totals include 2 RBIs and 5 runs scored. |
