Miranda Strokes 5 Hits Wednesday, September 18th , 2013 Yuma second baseman Julio Miranda could do no wrong in his team's 3-2 win over the Buccaneers, as he collected 5 hits. "Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Buccaneers skipper Ethan Campbell said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts." Miranda 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." Julio Miranda singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, grounded out in the 6th, grounded out in the 9th, walked in the 11th, singled in the 13th, singled in the 15th, struck out in the 17th, grounded out in the 18th, flied out in the 20th and flied out in the 22nd.
