| Breaking News |  | Wednesday, September 17th, 2014: Sáenz 5-5 Against Tri-City
Lyndon Sáenz exploded for a barrage of base hits today at Pennant Field. The Lowell center fielder had a field day against the Tri-City ValleyCats, finishing with a 5-5 day and a spot in the record book.
"It's a shame that we lost the game. It's really hard to enjoy what I did today," he said, lamenting the 8-6 loss. "You would think 5 hits would do it."
Asked about his great day, he replied, "My hitting philosophy is pretty simple. I focus just to see the ball and try to get a good pitch."
Well, Sáenz must have focused at least 5 times and apparently got some good pitches, too. It was one of his best days ever with the bat.
L. Sáenz doubled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off L. Pérez in the 8th.
This season Sáenz has hit at a .297 clip with 84 RBIs, 10 home runs and 116 runs scored.
