Ríos on Fire, 5-for-6 Against Fort Wayne
Even as a kid, Manolo Ríos said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Parkview Field, Ríos showed how well he learned that lesson.

The 22-year-old center fielder had 5 hits in 6 at-bats for the South Bend Cubs, helping his team knock off the Fort Wayne TinCaps by a score of 15-4.

"They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did."

Manolo Ríos hit an RBI single in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, struck out in the 5th, hit a two-run single in the 6th, hit a three-run home run off Javier Tafar in the 7th and singled in the 9th.
