Super Swinger -- Baker Slams 5 Hits Sunday, May 15th , 2072 A jubilant Steve Baker joined the postgame press conference at Welsh Field to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the San Jose Cuervo pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Philadelphia Cheesesteaks center fielder, "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 to the 7-6 Cheesesteaks win. "He made it look easy," said , manager of the Cuervo. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Steve Baker doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, flied out in the 6th, doubled in the 8th, doubled in the 10th, singled in the 12th and was hit by a pitch in the 14th. So far this year, Baker is batting .390 with 5 home runs, 17 RBIs and 33 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
