5-Hit Barrage by Ruvalcaba
Sunday, April 27th , 2025
Bradenton third baseman Jairo Ruvalcaba could do no wrong in his team's 17-16 win over the Hammerheads, as he collected 5 hits.
"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Hammerheads skipper Nate Lockwood said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."
Ruvalcaba agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.
"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."
Jairo Ruvalcaba hit a solo-shot off David Collins in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off David Collins in the 4th, grounded out in the 5th, walked in a run in the 6th, grounded out in the 8th, singled in the 10th, hit an RBI single in the 11th and singled in the 13th.
