Castaneda Socks It to Hawks, Cracks 5 Hits Thursday, August 17th , 2073 It was a downpour of hits for Alberto Castaneda at Ballpark of Toledo. The Sing Sing Songbirds shortstop tore into Hoboken for 5 hits in 7 at-bats to pace the Songbirds to a rain-delayed 15-8 victory. Hoboken manager bemoaned his pitching, speculating his club got flustered by Castaneda's big day. "He was beating us and we stopped locating well," he said. "That makes you get behind in the count and you can't do that when a guy is hot like Castaneda was today. Not to take anything away from him, but bad location was the story of the ballgame." Alberto Castaneda doubled in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, struck out in the 5th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 8th, hit an RBI double in the 9th and hit an RBI single in the 10th. Looking at his stats this year, Castaneda has compiled a .298 batting average, while hitting 7 home runs and driving in 37 runs. He has played in 88 games and scored 71 runs. View Boxscore |
