Newman on Fire, 5-for-6 Against Silver Springs Thursday, June 29th , 2062 A jubilant Iván Newman joined the postgame press conference at Glass Bottom Park to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Silver Springs Tarpons pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Shreveport Mudcats 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-6 hitting performance, which led to the 12-2 Mudcats win. "He made it look easy," said Juan Betancourt, manager of the Tarpons. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Iván Newman doubled in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI double in the 8th and flied out in the 9th. Batting .286 to date, Newman has 7 home runs and 54 RBIs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
