Meléndez Strokes 5 Hits Saturday, April 16th , 2072 Jesús Meléndez put on a hitting clinic as the Crab Apple Cove Barrels dumped the Luray Bulldogs, 19-2, at Surgeons Ballpark. The Crab Apple Cove right fielder made Luray defenders earn their pay, lashing Luray pitching for 5 hits in 6 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Meléndez said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Jesús Meléndez struck out in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, doubled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 8th. This year, Meléndez has hit at a .462 pace and produced 2 RBIs, no home runs and scored 7 runs. View Boxscore |
