6-for-7 Day for Davletkildeev Monday, July 27th , 1953 A jubilant Motka Davletkildeev joined the postgame press conference at Warlords Park to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the New York A Big Stick pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Los Angeles A Warlords first baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 6-for-7 hitting performance, which led to the 19-5 Warlords win. "He made it look easy," said , manager of the Big Stick. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Motka Davletkildeev struck out in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and singled in the 8th. For the year, Davletkildeev is hitting .323 with 6 home runs. His stats include 40 runs batted in and 43 runs scored. |
