Jefferson Rojas Doubles His Pleasure at Sloan Park
Jefferson Rojas lined an RBI double off the LF fence and scored a run in the bottom of the 1st inning, drilled another RBI double off the LF fence in the 2nd, looped a double down the RF line in the 4th, and (for dessert) lofted a sacrifice fly to the warning track in RF in the 6th, Anderson Suriel singled twice, stole four bases, and scored two runs, and Ke'Shun Collier singled, walked twice, stole two bases, and scored two runs (but unfortunately also made the final out of the game when he was thrown out trying to steal 3rd base), but it just wasn't enough as Junior Franco belted a bases-loaded bases-clearing triple, Johan Benitez singled twice, drew a walk with the bases loaded to force-in a run, and collected another RBI with a sacrifice fly, Moises Alcala singled twice, walked, and scored three runs, and Jose Fernandez singled twice, walked twice, and scored a run, as the Diamondbacks Black squad outlasted the Cubs 10-7 in a Cactus League Extended Spring Training game played Thursday afternoon at Sloan Park in Mesa, AZ.
