5-Hit Blitz by Arzate Monday, July 12th , 2049 It was a hits blitz for Alex Arzate at FirstEnergy Stadium today. The Altoona Curve shortstop tore into the Reading Fightin Phils for 5 hits in 6 at-bats, but it wasn't enough to win the game. The Fightin Phils swept past the Curve 7-6 to ruin Arzate's day. "We weren't locating our pitches well," Altoona manager Mason Kukowski explained after the game. "Once you get behind in the count, you have to make really good pitches, rather than pretty good pitches, and we weren't able to do that today. Getting 5 hits from Alex was nice but it wasn't enough." Alex Arzate hit a solo-shot off Tim Lawson in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, singled in the 6th, singled in the 8th, doubled in the 9th, singled in the 11th and walked in the 13th. Arzate is currently batting .256 with 6 home runs and 23 RBIs. |
