Piņeiro Has Hot Hand, Bangs 5 hits Tuesday, June 24th, 2036 Esteban Piņeiro put on a hitting clinic today as the Akron Blimps dumped the Lancaster Farmers 9-6 at Farmers Field. The Akron center fielder made Lancaster defenders earn their pay, lashing Lancaster 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," Piņeiro said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Esteban Piņeiro doubled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, singled in the 7th, singled in the 8th, walked in the 10th and hit an RBI triple in the 12th. This year Piņeiro is batting .323 with 62 hits and 4 home runs. He has scored 32 times and has batted in 34 runs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
