De La Torre Belts 5 Hits Tuesday, January 9th , 2063 Even as a kid, Juan De La Torre said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Visions Field, De La Torre showed how well he learned that lesson. The 20-year-old center fielder had 5 hits in 5 at-bats for the Gulf Oil Drillers, helping his team knock off the Anheiser-Busch Budweisers by a score of 24-4. "They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did." Juan De La Torre singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, walked in the 7th, hit a GRAND SLAM off Ángel Benavidez in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 7th. De La Torre is currently hitting at a .421 pace with 1 home run and 10 RBIs. He has played in 9 games and scored 9 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |
