Mendoza Tags Atlantics for 5 Hits Thursday, June 15th , 2023 5 hits in a game is generally considered a noteworthy achievement, but for Luis Mendoza, it felt rather hollow. The 14-year-old went 5-for-6 at the plate at PNC Park today, but his Columbus HS Pirates fell to the Washington HS Atlantics, 22-17. "It's hard to get too excited," the third baseman told BNN following the game. "After a game like this, everyone's quiet and they just want to go home." Luis Mendoza singled in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Spencer Cerveaux in the 4th, singled in the 7th, hit a GRAND SLAM off David Estrella in the 8th and singled in the 9th. For the season, Mendoza is hitting at a .337 clip with 25 home runs, 92 RBIs and has scored 75 runs. He has 100 hits, 49 walks and a .441 on-base percentage. |
