Vélez Socks it to Fire Fighters, Cracks 5 Hits Wednesday, July 29th, 2026 "Ever since I picked up my first bat my coaches were always saying to keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing... just make contact and ya never know what'll happen," San Pablo de las Salinas's José Vélez told reporters after the game. "That's all I did today. I made contact and it turned out well." It definitely turned out well for Vélez today as he collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats against Gilbert. It turned out well for his team, too, as the Doctors knocked off the Fire Fighters 17-0 at Fire Fighters Stadium. José Vélez walked in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Tom Newton in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th, hit an RBI single in the 8th and grounded out in the 9th. So far this year in 14 games Vélez is hitting .368 with 1 home run, 9 RBIs and 8 runs scored. |
