Ruíz Goes 5-for-5 Against U.S. Air Force
Monday, February 21st , 2061
Pabst first baseman Ricardo Ruíz could do no wrong in his team's 13-5 win over the Falcons, as he collected 5 hits.
"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Falcons skipper Salvador Escobar said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."
Ruíz agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.
"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."
Ricardo Ruíz singled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, hit a two-run triple in the 4th, doubled in the 6th and hit an RBI double in the 7th.
So far this year in 45 games, Ruíz is hitting .354 with 8 home runs, 22 RBIs and 41 runs scored.
