Lake Monsters Mancíto Smacks 5 Hits Tuesday, July 12th , 2061 Even as a kid, Esteban Mancíto said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Dodos Ballpark, Mancíto showed how well he learned that lesson. The 33-year-old catcher had 5 hits in 6 at-bats for the Vermont Lake Monsters, helping his team knock off the Hialeah Dodos by a score of 25-4. "They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did." Esteban Mancíto hit a three-run home run off Bernardo Rivera in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. For the year, Mancíto is batting .520 with 1 home run, 10 RBIs and 9 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log |
