In the Defenders 9-5 win over Huntsville, Domingo Vaeza was red-hot today, scorching them for hit after hit at Defenders Stadium.
"To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax. I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I must admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for a 5-hit game. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close."
On his big day Vaeza delivered 5 hits in 5 at-bats.
D. Vaeza singled in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, hit a two-run double in the 4th, singled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
