Lee Goes on Rampage Against Cardinals
Saturday, April 15th , 2000
A jubilant Travis Lee joined the postgame press conference at Coors Field to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the St. Louis Cardinals pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Colorado Rockies first baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led to the 15-13 Rockies win.

"He made it look easy," said Buck Rodgers, manager of the Cardinals. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Travis Lee singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 6th and hit a two-run double in the 7th.

In his season totals Lee has 5 home runs and a .404 batting average.
