 | Big Day with Bat: Rivera 5-for-5 Thursday, August 10th, 2034 Gustavo Rivera put on a hitting clinic today as the Durham Bulls dumped the Kirkwood Ritters 9-1 at Kirkwood Fields. The Durham center fielder made Kirkwood defenders earn their pay, lashing Kirkwood pitching for 5 hits in 5 at-bats in the game. He told BNN reporters after the game that his strategy was "just hit it where they pitched it." "Too often I try too hard to pull the ball," Rivera said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch." Gustavo Rivera singled in the 2nd, tripled in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th. This season Rivera has hit at a .299 clip with 12 RBIs, 3 home runs and 12 runs scored. |   |
