Hits Galore: Castio Drills 5 Hits Wednesday, July 5th , 2051 A jubilant Juan Castio joined the postgame press conference at Seahwaks Stadium today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the South Beach Blaze pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Myrtle Beach Seahawks shortstop, "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-7 hitting performance, which led the Seahawks to a 7-6 win. "He made it look easy," said Vicente RodrÃguez, manager of the Blaze. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Juan Castio doubled in the 1st, struck out in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Lawrence MacLellan in the 8th, singled in the 9th, grounded out in the 11th and hit a solo-shot off Yeong-suk Yi in the 14th. For the year Castio is batting .205 with 40 hits and 12 home runs. He has scored 28 times and driven in 15. View Boxscore View Game Log |
