This weekend, the Hooks and the Express played two games to wrap up the spring training schedule. Saturday night, the Hooks forgot to unpack their bats in a 2-0 loss to the Express. The Hooks only got 3 hits and struck out 15 times.
“It’s a long spring and a long drive,” Pujols said. “Everybody took off about a day ago from (Kissimmee, Fla.). Some of the guys pretty much drove straight for 19 hours, and we came here and didn’t have a chance to hit on the field (before the game).
Brad James had what he called an “average day” after staying in the game following a batted ball to his right leg. He still managed to go 4 innings (71 pitches/51 strikes).
“He got out of trouble and that’s what you call pitching,” Pujols said. “I believe he threw the ball very well.”
