Big Day for Ynegas: Swats 5 Hits Wednesday, August 19th , 2048 A jubilant Claudio Ynegas joined the postgame press conference at The Target today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Beaumont Crossbeaus pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Athletic Club KC U-21 center fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led the U-21 to a 16-6 win. "He made it look easy," said Steve Ferguson, manager of the Crossbeaus. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Claudio Ynegas doubled in the 1st, hit a two-run double in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Takuma Ozawa in the 8th and struck out in the 9th. Thus far this season Ynegas has hit .390 with 28 home runs, 70 RBIs and scored 75 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |
