Alaniz Goes 5-for-6 Sunday, February 15th, 2043 It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-6 day. For many, it might come around only once in a career -- and for Ruben Alaniz, it came around today. The 22-year-old third baseman scattered hits all over Limón Memorial Stadium to pace the Texas (AFL) Rangers to a 13-6 victory over the Minnesota (AFL) Twins. Minnesota (AFL) skipper told reporters in the press room that "Alaniz deserves a hat-tip." "He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Alaniz hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit." Ruben Alaniz singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Bob Janvrin in the 5th, flied out in the 7th and doubled in the 9th. Alaniz on the season is batting .200 with 3 home runs. His totals include 9 RBIs and 7 runs scored. He has played in 15 games. View Boxscore |
