Longoria Rips Alameda for 5 Hits Thursday, August 11th, 2033 Rafael Longoria put on a hitting clinic today as the Syracuse Storm dumped the Alameda Airmen 8-3 at Alameda Field. The Syracuse right fielder made Alameda defenders earn their pay, lashing Alameda pitching for 5 hits in 5 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," Longoria said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Rafael Longoria singled in the 1st, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Yong-chul Kim in the 9th. This year Longoria has collected a .421 batting average to date with 8 hits in 19 at-bats, 6 RBIs, 3 home runs and scored 6 times. He has played in 10 games. View Boxscore View Game Log |
