Paradise Valley's Mata Goes Ballistic with 5 Hits
Paradise Valley right fielder Diego Mata could do no wrong in today's 10-4 win over the Rustlers as he collected 5 hits.

"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Rustlers skipper Mark Carter said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."

Mata agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.

"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."

Diego Mata singled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 8th.

This season Mata is batting .303 with 44 hits, no home runs, 10 RBIs, 5 walks, .331 OBP and has scored 19 runs. He has played in 41 games.
