Ruíz on Fire: 5-for-5 for Green Bay
Tuesday, June 6th , 2073
Walter Ruíz was at the head of a Green Bay Huskies hit parade at Ballpark of Neillsville. The 25-year-old went to the plate 5 times and came away with 5 hits, but it was the Olympic River Swimmers that marched off with the 9-5 win.
"We didn't have it today," griped Huskies skipper following the game. "Walter did fine, but as a team, we didn't do it with the bats and we didn't do it pitching."
Ruíz did more than fine, dominating the River Swimmers at the plate during his record-making 5-for-5 performance.
"Each time I went to the plate, I was thinking about hitting the ball hard somewhere," the sweet-swinging right fielder told reporters. "When I focus on that, I usually have quality at-bats."
Walter Ruíz hit an RBI double in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
This season, Ruíz has hit at a .344 clip and produced 24 RBI, 1 home run and 27 runs.
