Mence Rips Galesburg for 5 Hits Monday, June 23rd, 2031 Rio Mence put on a hitting clinic today as the Chicago Tula dumped the Galesburg Guzzlers 9-7 at Galesburg Field. The Chicago shortstop made Galesburg defenders earn their pay, lashing Galesburg pitching for 5 hits in 6 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Mence said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Rio Mence singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run triple in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, grounded out in the 8th and hit a two-run single in the 9th. This year Mence has collected a .263 batting average to date with 42 hits in 160 at-bats, 21 RBIs, 2 home runs and scored 22 times. He has played in 42 games. View Boxscore View Game Log |
