Red Sox Villalobos Smacks 5 Hits
It was a hits blitz for <Adrián Villalobos:player#2087> at Louisville Park. The <Louisville Red Sox:team#18> first baseman tore into <Colorado Springs:team#14> for 5 hits in 6 at-bats and wrote his name into the record book. But it wasn't enough to win the game. The <Colorado Springs Avalanche:team#14> swept past the Red Sox 9-7 to ruin the day for him. The <Louisville:team#18> manager bemoaned his pitching, saying, "We fell behind and weren't locating well. Once you get behind in the count, you have to make real good pitches, rather than good pitches, and we weren't able to do that today. Bad location was the story of the ballgame. That's why we lost the game. The Avalanche got too many good looks today, and we paid for it." <Adrián Villalobos:player#2087> singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, singled in the 9th, walked in the 11th and singled in the 13th.
