5-Hit Blitz by Aruba's bin Jabir Sunday, July 2nd , 2062 Thaqib bin Jabir knows as well as anyone that in baseball, the biggest contracts go to the biggest hitters. At The Tiki Hut, he made his case to be considered among that group. The 21-year-old catcher hammered 5 hits in 7 chances, though the remarkable effort came even as his Aruba Gold fell, 5-4, to the Antigua Tikis. "We made some bad pitches and he took advantage of it," Tikis manager Wilson RodrÃguez told BNN sportswriters after the game. "Thankfully, we were able to do enough elsewhere that bin Jabir wasn't the difference." Thaqib bin Jabir singled in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Larry Bennett in the 7th, singled in the 9th, singled in the 12th, flied out in the 14th and flied out in the 16th. Currently bin Jabir is batting .333 with 7 hits and 1 home run. He has knocked in 2 runs and scored 2 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |
