Soberanis Blisters River City

Missoula shortstop J.M. Soberanis went down swinging at Ogren Park at Allegiance Field today, knocking out 5 hits even as his Osprey fell, 7-5.

"It was like I was hitting Little League pitching," Soberanis said after his 5-for-6 performance against the River City Rumblers. "No offense meant to River City, but it was like I was back in little league again -- I could see the ball that well."

After the game, his manager elaborated on the shortstop's improvements, saying Soberanis spent the offseason trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball.

"That's what I'm trying to do," Soberanis agreed. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it."

J.M. Soberanis singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 6th, hit a solo-shot off Caleb Jacoby in the 8th, doubled in the 10th and grounded out in the 12th.

This year Soberanis is batting .288 with 21 hits, 4 home runs, 13 RBIs, 5 walks, .346 OBP and has scored 11 runs.
