5-Hit Blitz by Orthodoxou Friday, August 17th , 2063 A jubilant Orthodoxos Orthodoxou joined the postgame press conference at MSL Kingston Township Ballpark to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the MSL Baltimore Bullets pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the MSL Kingston Ponies third baseman, "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 19-7 Ponies win. "He made it look easy," said Tom Wilson, manager of the Bullets. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Orthodoxos Orthodoxou singled in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Fabiano Moura in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 6th and grounded out in the 7th. For the season, Orthodoxou has produced 38 hits in 131 at-bats for a .290 average with 7 home runs and gotten on base at a .372 clip. View Boxscore View Game Log |
