| Breaking News |  | Tuesday, July 29th, 2014: Potros Pitching Ravaged by Sánchez
What a day for Ramiro Sánchez of the Death Valley Sunfire! A 5-hit hitting spree! That doesn't happen every day! He ripped Tijuana pitching apart at Sunfire Ballpark and sparked the Sunfire to a 12-11 victory. He wrote his name in the record books, finishing his special day 5 for 5.
"I'm usually a first ball hitter," Sánchez told BNN reporters in the postgame press conference. "I think pitchers think batters are going to let the first one go by. I never do. I've always found that it's better to pull the trigger early in the count. Pitchers get real nasty when they get ahead of you, so I try to avoid that."
R. Sánchez singled in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off H. Peng in the 6th, walked in the 7th, hit an RBI double in the 8th and hit a two-run double in the 9th.
This season in 104 games, Sánchez has hit at a .274 clip with 108 hits, 8 home runs, 64 RBIs and 48 runs scored.
