Gonzáles Rips Ellesmere Island for 5 Hits
Saturday, July 14th, 2035
Tim Gonzáles put on a hitting clinic today as the Valley View Cougars dumped the Ellesmere Island Snowpeople 12-5 at Corpus Christi Grounds.
The Valley View first baseman made Ellesmere Island defenders earn their pay, lashing Ellesmere Island 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," Gonzáles said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."
Tim Gonzáles grounded out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Zi-cheng Yang in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, doubled in the 7th, tripled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.
In 57 games Gonzáles is hitting .346 this season with 79 hits, 12 home runs, 39 RBIs, 16 walks, .400 OBP and has scored 44 runs.
