Hit Parade: Mercado Pops 5 Hits
A jubilant Armando Mercado joined the postgame press conference at Rams Park today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Coventry Motors pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Derby Rams 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 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led the Rams to a 8-6 win.

"He made it look easy," said Mark Reid, manager of the Motors. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Armando Mercado singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 8th.

Currently Mercado is hitting .483 and has collected no home runs, 3 RBIs and scored 7 times, while playing in 8 games.
