Cordle Belts 5 Hits Thursday, October 26th , 2045 A jubilant Tim Cordle joined the postgame press conference at Oakland Oaks Grounds today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Victoria Capitals pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Oakland Oaks third baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led the Oaks to a 18-5 win. "He made it look easy," said Kristian Trompiz, manager of the Capitals. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Tim Cordle singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Frank Cabrera in the 7th and grounded out in the 8th. In the current season, Cordle has put up a .345 batting average with 154 hits, 2 home runs, 61 RBI and scored 89 runs. |
