bin Walid Raps Melbourne for 5 Hits Friday, January 6th , 2062 Some moments become linked with a particular player's career forever. Aza bin Walid of the Sydney Devil Bears had one of those moments when he went 5-for-5 at the plate in his team's 16-1 win over the Melbourne Ports at São Paulo HS Grounds. "I won't forget this anytime soon, and I don't expect it to happen too often," the 16-year-old first baseman told reporters in the postgame interview. "I'll be happy to just get a hit or two every day. Enough to hang around the league a while longer. Like 10, maybe 15 more years." Aza bin Walid singled in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Adrian Cully in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Jacome Kawashima in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 5th and hit a two-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 6th. To date bin Walid has chalked up a .462 average with 6 home runs, driven in 12 runs and scored 8 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |
