It wasn't just another day at the ballpark for Ronald Quijada. It was a very special day, one that many players never experience. But he did. Quijada went on a tear and cracked hit after hit off Walla Walla pitching.
When the dust settled on the diamond at Old League Park, he had a career 5-6 day and something he will long remember. And the River Cities Sternwheelers had a 11-1 victory over the Federal Duck.
"Yeah, it'll be something nice to tell the grandkids, but it won't get me a hit tomorrow," he joked in the postgame interview.
R. Quijada singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, flied out in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.
This season Quijada has hit at a .240 clip and produced 6 RBIs, 3 home runs and 11 runs scored. |
 | Tuesday, April 9th, 2013: River Cities Loses Callahan for Year
River Cities left fielder Alan Callahan could miss the remainder of the season because of a fractured ankle. He exited yesterday's Walla Walla game after injuring himself while running the bases. The original diagnosis said Callahan would be out 8 months. Later on his doctors said he could be out even longer.
"He's done," his manager commented at the BNN press conference. "It's a season-ending injury, but it could have been worse. It's not the worst-case scenario, so we're happy about that."
In 2013 Callahan is currently batting .444 with 2 home runs and 13 RBIs. In 8 games he has reached base at a .531 rate and scored 2 runs to date. |
