 | Monday, August 17th, 2020: Preesman on Fire: 5-6 for Arizona Bay
"It was like I was hitting little league pitching," said Miquel Preesman after his 5-hit performance against the Juggernaut. "No offense meant to Cincinnati, but it was like I was back in little league again. I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Tarantulas Ballpark."
The Arizona Bay right fielder had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 6 at-bats and pacing his club to a 9-1 victory.
His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Miquel worked the entire offseason on trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball and the hard work is paying off in base hits."
"That's what I'm trying to do," Preesman said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it."
M. Preesman hit a two-run home run off J. Vidrio in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and struck out in the 9th.
This year Preesman has batted at a .332 pace with 107 hits, 7 home runs, 48 RBIs and scored 58 times.
