Big Day for Alvarez: Swats 5 Hits
Thursday, June 18th , 2026
Julio Alvarez put on a hitting clinic as the Hartford Yard Goats dumped the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, 13-10, at Binghamton Fields.

The Hartford left fielder made Binghamton defenders earn their pay, lashing Binghamton pitching for 5 hits in 6 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," Alvarez said in his postgame press conference. "Today, I just went with the pitch."

Julio Alvarez singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

Alvarez is currently hitting at a .429 pace with no home runs, 2 RBIs and has scored 4 times.
