Big Day for Torres: Swats 5 Hits Wednesday, August 23rd, 2023 It seemed that Rome first baseman Juan Torres could do no wrong as the Yeomen kayoed the Sparrowhawks 14-5 today as he rapped out 5 hits in 5 at-bats. Lake County pitchers couldn't get him out as Torres seemed to know which pitches they were throwing. "I think the Yeomen were stealing signs," growled one unhappy Lake County fan. "I just felt good today. I saw the ball well and just wanted to make good contact and put the ball in play," said the jubilant Torres in the postgame press interview. Juan Torres singled in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Bill Davis in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, singled in the 6th and hit an RBI single in the 7th. This season Torres is swinging the bat at a .266 pace. He has hit 25 home runs and scored 58 times, while driving in 64. His on-base percentage is .371 and he has played in 102 games. |
