Message:
Duarte 5-for-6 Against Pirates: It's not something you read about in the sports pages every day -- a 5-for-6 day. For many, it might come around only once in a career -- and for Luís Duarte, it came around today.
The 26-year-old second baseman scattered hits all over PepsiCo Park to pace the Indianapolis Clowns to a 6-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Pittsburgh skipper Tim McCorkle told reporters in the press room that "Duarte deserves a hat-tip."
"He hit some good pitches against us," he said. "In fact, according to our scouting reports, Duarte hit several that he is not supposed to be able to hit."
Luís Duarte flied out in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, tripled in the 5th, hit an RBI double in the 7th, singled in the 9th and singled in the 11th.
This year Duarte has batted at a .269 pace with 144 hits, 5 home runs, 41 RBIs and scored 84 times.
