Allen Sensational, 5-for-5 Saturday, August 2nd , 2031 A jubilant Jacob Allen joined the postgame press conference at Jay Bergman Field today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Xavier Musketeers pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Central Florida Knights 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 the Knights to a 9-4 win. "He made it look easy," said Mike Lieberthal, manager of the Musketeers. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Jacob Allen doubled in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Miguel Espinoza in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th. This year Allen is batting .356 with 35 home runs. View Boxscore |
