 | 5-for-5 Day for Rosas Friday, August 11th, 2034 A jubilant José Rosas joined the postgame press conference at Monster Park today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Oakland Oaks pitching staff he had just vanquished.
"It may not have looked like it," said the Cleveland Spiders 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-5 hitting performance, which led the Spiders to a 10-5 win.
"He made it look easy," said Kenny Lafrenière, manager of the Oaks. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."
José Rosas doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, walked in the 8th and singled in the 9th.
So far this season Rosas is batting .316 with 11 home runs, 56 RBIs and 101 runs scored. He has 136 hits in 430 at-bats, 98 walks and a .448 OBP. Rosas has played in 111 games.
