Valdez Batters San Antonio for 5 Hits Monday, July 27th , 2026 A jubilant Ismael Valdez joined the postgame press conference at RoughRiders Grounds to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the San Antonio Missions pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Frisco RoughRiders left fielder, "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 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led to the 8-7 RoughRiders win. "He made it look easy," said Jeff Gill, manager of the Missions. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Ismael Valdez singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit a two-run single in the 7th and singled in the 9th. |
