| Wednesday, June 13th, 2007: Velez On Fire! 5-5 for Newark!
It was a hits blitz for Eugenio Velez at Sugar Kings Ballpark. The Newark Sugar Kings second baseman tore into Scottsdale for 5 hits in 5 at-bats and wrote his name into the record book. But it wasn't enough to win the game. The Scottsdale Vampires swept past the Sugar Kings 7-4 to ruin the day for him.
The Newark manager bemoaned his pitching, saying, "We fell behind and weren't locating well. Once you get behind in the count, you have to make real good pitches, rather than good pitches, and we weren't able to do that today. Bad location was the story of the ballgame. That's why we lost the game. The Vampires got too many good looks today, and we paid for it."
E. Velez singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th and doubled in the 9th.
This season Velez is hitting .388 with 2 home runs. |
