 | Sunday, September 17th, 2028: Azzouzi 5-5 for Heat
It was a big day with the bat for Tiljad Azzouzi of the Casablanca Heat at Meditterranean Park as he bashed out hit after hit after hit to defeat Shanghai 14-6.
To the press after the ballgame he modestly said, "Guys, it's just one game in a long season. I hit it hard and found some holes today. 5 hits in 5 tries. But my hits are not the big thing in the game. The victory is the important thing. That's the story."
At the end of the game Azzouzi had collected 5 hits in 5 at-bats and a small mention in the record book. He was happy. He had a big day with the bat. And the Heat had won.
The beat writers were happy, too. They had their big story -- they could write about his big day with the bat.
T. Azzouzi hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off L. Renteria in the 5th, singled in the 7th, walked in the 8th and hit an RBI double in the 9th.
