Castillo Bangs Out 5 Base Hits Tuesday, August 27th , 2024 Stockton first baseman Ernesto Castillo could do no wrong in his team's 7-3 win over the Tigercats, as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Tigercats skipper Mike Alexander said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Castillo agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game. "Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready." Ernesto Castillo doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Tony Suarez in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Rich Sargent in the 8th. At the moment, Castillo is hitting .263 with 26 home runs and 80 RBIs. He has played in 119 games and scored 91 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |
