Tillman Cracks 5 Hits Wednesday, May 11th , 2050 The Phoenix Mavericks downed the Tuscon Raiders 13-3 today at Tetrad Core Colloseum, in spite of the best efforts of Tuscon third baseman Chris Tillman. Tillman lashed the ball all over the park in a 5-hit explosion, finishing with a 5-for-5 line -- and a loss. "I don't remember a better day batting, but it sure is disappointing to lose the game," he said to BNN reporters in the postgame interview. "A win would have made the day much sweeter." Asked if he would adjust his strategy next time the Mavericks face Tillman, Phoenix manager Lookie Wookie said "absolutely not." "Our strategy was to not give him good pitches to hit," he said. "We didn't do that, and he worked us over. Thankfully, we won anyway, and next time we'll pitch to him better." Chris Tillman singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, singled in the 7th and doubled in the 9th. This season Tillman is batting .429 with no home runs. His totals include 10 RBIs and 8 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
