 | Valadez 5-for-6 for León College Friday, March 24th , 2045 A jubilant Willie Valadez joined the postgame press conference at Truist Park to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the New York College Braves pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the León College Magicians center fielder, "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 11-4 Magicians win. "He made it look easy," said , manager of the Braves. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Willie Valadez singled in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Chad Greenfeld in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, struck out in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Jordan Couret in the 9th. This season, Valadez has hit at a .267 clip with 13 RBIs, 4 home runs and 16 runs scored. |   |
